Content Calendar

The Content Calendar gives you a monthly view of all your scheduled posts. You can see what is going out each day, drag posts to reschedule them, and manage content at a glance.

OVERVIEW

The Content Calendar gives you a monthly view of all your
scheduled posts. You can see what is going out each day,
drag posts to reschedule them, and manage content at a glance.

HOW TO GET THERE

Click "Content Calendar" under Content in the sidebar,
or navigate to /calendar.

CALENDAR VIEW

The calendar displays a standard month grid starting on Monday.
Each day cell shows:
  - The date number
  - A badge with the post count for that day
  - Up to 3 post chips (colored pills showing the post title)
  - A "+N more" indicator if there are more than 3 posts

Visual indicators:
  - Today is highlighted with a filled circle marker
  - The selected date has an accent-colored left border
  - Weekend dates have slightly muted text
  - Post chips are color-coded by status
  - Use the left/right arrows to move between months
  - Click "Today" to jump back to the current date
  - The current month and year are displayed between the arrows

SELECTING A DATE

Click any date cell to select it. On desktop, the right sidebar
shows all posts for that date. On mobile, posts appear in a
collapsible section below the calendar.

VIEWING POST DETAILS

Desktop:
  Click a post chip on the calendar to select it. The right
  sidebar shows a detailed Quickview panel with the post's
  media, title, status, platforms, caption, and action buttons.

Mobile:
  Click a post chip to open the Edit Post Dialog directly.


RESCHEDULING POSTS (Drag and Drop)
-----------------------------------
On desktop, drag any post chip from one date cell and drop it
on another date to reschedule it. The post updates immediately.
If the save fails, the post reverts to its original date.

The drop target cell shows a dashed accent-colored border while
you hover over it.
Click the search icon in the toolbar to open the search box.
Type a keyword and press Enter. The calendar will find the first
post matching your search (by title or caption) and navigate
to its date.

BATCH SELECTION

1. Click "Select" in the toolbar to enter selection mode.
2. Click post chips to toggle their selection (checkboxes appear
   on each chip).
3. A batch action bar appears at the bottom with these options:

   Review      -- Send selected posts for review
   Unschedule  -- Remove the scheduled date from selected posts
   Draft       -- Move selected posts back to "Idea" status
   Delete      -- Two-step confirmation delete

4. Click "Cancel" or toggle "Select" again to exit batch mode.

CREATING A NEW POST

Click "New Post" in the toolbar to open the Post Wizard. If you
have a date selected, the wizard may pre-fill that date.


RIGHT SIDEBAR (Desktop)
-------------------------
The sidebar on the right side shows:
  - Unscheduled Posts button: A count of posts with no date,
    displayed with a red badge. Click to manage unscheduled posts.
  - Review button: Send the selected post(s) for review.
  - Post detail panel (when a post is selected): Shows full
    Quickview with edit, preview, and delete actions.
  - Date posts list (when no post selected but a date is chosen):
    Lists all posts for the selected date with title, status
    badge, and platform icons.

STATUS LEGEND

A bar at the bottom of the calendar shows all post status colors
with dots and labels so you can identify what each color means.

TIPS

- Drag and drop is the fastest way to reschedule posts -- just
  grab a chip and drop it on the target date.
- Use the search feature to quickly find a specific post on the
  calendar without scrolling through months.
- The unscheduled posts counter (red badge) in the sidebar helps
  you catch posts that still need dates assigned.
- Check the status legend at the bottom if you are unsure what
  a chip's color means.
