Introduction

As a reminder, there are two different ways to schedule content: through the DYNAMIC COLUMN within your Individual Draft View or through the full SCHEDULE Page.

Scheduling via the Schedule Page

  1. Navigate to the Schedule Page by selecting 'SCHEDULE' from the Navigation Menu on the left.
  2. The Schedule Page will show your Drafts for the month in CARDS on the right side of the screen. CARDS are color-coded for further clarity on which Drafts need Scheduling actions:
    1. GRAY: None of the platforms in the Draft have been scheduled
    2. GRAY AND BLUE: Some of the platforms in the Draft have been scheduled
    3. FULLY BLUE: All of your Draft's platforms are scheduled
    4. GREEN: All platforms in the Draft have been published (posts are LIVE)
  3. Click on a PLATFORM within a Draft Card to begin scheduling it.
  4. Select your preferred date/time for the post.
  5. Once your date/time are selected, a few options will appear when you click the 'SCHEDULE POST' button:
    1. Schedule for [DATE]: Will go live on social on a date/time in the future
    2. Publish Now: Post goes live on social media almost immediately
    3. Mark as Scheduled: Used if you are publishing the content manually via the native platforms
  6. Repeat steps 3-4 for all platforms in your Draft.
NOTE: When all of your Draft's platforms are Scheduled/Marked as Scheduled, Create automatically changes the Draft's Status to 'SCHEDULED'. After the posts go out on social media, Create's system will automatically change the Draft's status to 'PUBLISHED'.
