Calendar
Calendar overview
The Calendar is your board for everything content-related: ideas, drafts, scheduled posts, published posts and notes. Drag items between dates, filter by channel, type or status, and switch between month, week and list views.
Opening the Calendar
Click Calendar in the navigation.
You see the current month, with your posts shown on each date. Use the arrows either side of the month name to move back and forward.
What you'll see on the Calendar
Type | What it is |
|---|---|
Idea | A content idea waiting to be turned into a post |
Draft | A post in progress, not yet scheduled |
Scheduled | A post queued to publish at a set time |
Published | A post that's gone live |
Note | A reminder for your team; it never publishes |
You can also add public and social holidays (for example, National Coffee Day).
When a post fails to publish, Mavic explains why, for example an expired channel connection, and prompts you to reconnect the channel. See Publishing failed.
Filters and views
Along the top of the calendar:
- Filter: show only some items, by Channel, Content type (posts, ideas or notes) and Status (drafts, scheduled or published). Clear all filters resets them.
- Search posts, ideas, themes: find an item by its text.
- Month, Week and List: switch views.
At the top right:
- Ideas: opens the side panel with ideas from your chats.
- Holidays: opens the side panel with holidays for the country you choose.
- New note and New post.
Adding things to the Calendar
Quick ways:
- Click + on a date and choose New post or New note.
- Drag an idea from the Ideas panel onto a date. It becomes a draft for that day.
- Drag a holiday from the Holidays panel onto a date as a content anchor.
- Ask Mavic in chat: "Schedule this for Thursday at 9am", or "Add these holidays to my calendar" after Mavic lists them.
See Adding things to your calendar for details.
Scheduling from the chat
You don't have to open the Calendar to schedule. In any chat, ask Mavic to publish or schedule a post:
Schedule the LinkedIn post for next Tuesday at 8am.
Mavic shows a confirmation with the channel and time. Nothing is posted until you approve, and the post then appears on your Calendar. If the date or time is unclear, Mavic asks, using your workspace's timezone. See The chat: complete guide.
Editing a scheduled post
Click any post on the calendar to open it. From there you can:
- Edit post: change the caption, media or settings
- Re-schedule: pick a new date and time, or drag the post to a new date
- Cancel schedule: take it off the schedule (it goes back to your drafts)
- Publish now: post it straight away
Turning ideas into posts
Click an idea on the calendar and choose Create content. The post you make takes over the idea's slot on the calendar, so it doesn't appear twice.
Tips
- Plan in months, refine in weeks. Use Month to see the big picture; switch to Week when you're refining.
- Lock in anchor dates first. Public holidays and product launches don't move. Schedule those, then fill in around them.
- Don't over-pack. A calendar with one good post a day beats one with three average posts a day.
- Drag freely. It's easier to drop ideas everywhere and trim than to plan perfectly from scratch.
