Content Calendar — Visual Planning

Overview

The Content Calendar gives you a visual overview of all your scheduled and published content across every connected platform. Plan weeks or months ahead with a drag-and-drop interface.

Key Capabilities

  • Visual calendar view — see all posts on a day/week/month grid
  • Drag and drop — reschedule posts by dragging them to a new date/time
  • Multi-platform view — filter by platform, account, or label
  • Colour coding — posts are colour-coded by platform or status
  • Quick create — click any date to create a new post for that slot
  • Share with clients — generate a public calendar link for client review

How to Access

Navigate to Publish > Content Calendar from the sidebar.

Using the Calendar

  1. Open the Content Calendar
  2. View modes — switch between day, week, and month views
  3. Filter — narrow down by platform, account, label, or status
  4. Create — click on a date to start composing a new post
  5. Edit — click any existing post to edit its content or timing
  6. Reschedule — drag posts to different dates or times

Sharing the Calendar

You can generate a public share link for the calendar. This is useful for:

  • Client approvals — let clients review planned content before it goes live
  • Team coordination — share with stakeholders who don't have SmartlyQ accounts
  • Reporting — show content plans in presentations

Tip: Plan your content at least 2 weeks ahead. Use the calendar's month view to spot gaps in your publishing schedule and ensure consistent posting.
