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
- Open up the Individual Draft you want to schedule.
- From the DYNAMIC column menu on the far left side, click the 'SCHEDULE' icon.
- This will display a calendar and some notes from your original draft's fields.
- 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.
- You can override any of the suggestions by clicking a different date and/or time.
- Once your date/time are selected, a few options will appear when you click the 'SCHEDULE POST' button:
- Schedule for [DATE]: Will go live on social on a date/time in the future
- Publish Now: Post goes live on social media almost immediately
- Mark as Scheduled: Used if you are publishing the content manually via the native platforms
- 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'.
