How to Schedule Content Using the Draft Tab in the Dynamic Column







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 SCHEDULER Page.

Scheduling via the Draft Tab

  1. Open up the Individual Draft you want to schedule.
  2. From the DYNAMIC column menu on the far left side, click the 'SCHEDULE' icon.
    1. This will display a calendar and some notes from your original draft's fields.
  3. If you provided a suggested time/date in your original draft form details, they will appear in the Scheduling pane in the DYNAMIC column beneath the calendar.
    1. You can override any of the suggestions by clicking a different date and/or time.
  4. 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
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 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'.
