If your preferred method of scheduling content is to drag and drop onto the calendar, this article will give you the best practices on how to do so.
There are 3 different views on the calendar: monthly, weekly, and daily. Each has its own benefits and limitations, but all are useful!
Monthly View
- This view is best used as a macro view of the content you have scheduled to go out.
- You are able to drag and drop content to schedule it on this view, but this view does have the most restrictions as far as what you can/can't change.
- The post will schedule at the statistically best time to post, based on past post performance data
- You are unable to drag content to change the time of post, but you can drag to change the day of posting
Weekly View
- This view is a good middle ground, where you can see a week's worth of content, but have a bit more capability than the monthly view.
- When dropping onto the calendar, you can choose the time to post in 30-minute intervals
- You can drag the content on the 30-minute intervals from when you originally scheduled the post to go out to change the time of a post
- You are still able to drag content to a different day to re-schedule it
Daily View
- This view allows you to see content on a micro level, where your capabilities are limited to the specific day you are looking at. It's capabilities are very similar to that of the weekly view.
- You can drop content in the same 30 minute intervals as the weekly view, and re-schedule by dragging to the 30 min intervals
- The main difference between this and weekly view is you cannot change the day of posting
