# Social calendar
> View, manage, and reschedule all your social media posts from a unified calendar. Switch between monthly, weekly, and list views to plan your content at a glance.
The Social Calendar gives you a bird's-eye view of every post scheduled across all your connected social accounts. Rather than managing posts platform by platform, the calendar consolidates everything into a single, color-coded timeline so you can spot gaps, avoid over-posting, and maintain a consistent publishing cadence.
Navigate to **Marketing > Social Planner** to access the calendar. The planner defaults to the calendar view when you open it.
## Switching views
The Social Planner offers three views to match how you prefer to plan content.
See an entire month at a glance. Each day shows a count of scheduled posts. Click any day to see the posts queued for that date.
See seven days side by side with posts displayed as blocks. Useful for fine-tuning a busy week or identifying days that need more content.
A chronological list of all upcoming and recently published posts. Sortable and filterable — the easiest way to find and edit a specific post.
Toggle between views using the **Month**, **Week**, and **List** buttons in the top-right corner of the Social Planner.

## Filtering the calendar
Use the filter controls to narrow the calendar to exactly what you need:
* **Account filter** — show posts for one specific social account or all accounts at once
* **Platform filter** — display only Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or another platform
* **Status filter** — filter by Scheduled, Published, Failed, Pending Approval, or Draft
* **Date range** — jump to any date range in the past or future
Filters can be combined. For example, you can view only Instagram posts that are in a Pending Approval state for the next two weeks.

## Reading the calendar
Each post block on the calendar shows:
* A platform icon indicating which social network it targets
* A thumbnail of the first image or video (if media is attached)
* The scheduled time
* A status badge (Scheduled, Published, Failed, etc.)
Posts targeting multiple platforms appear as separate blocks on the same day — one per platform — so you can see exactly when each version will publish.
Color coding helps you distinguish platforms at a glance. If a post fails, its block turns red and displays an error indicator. Click the block to view the full error message and make corrections.

## Managing posts from the calendar
### Editing a scheduled post
Click any post block to open a quick-view panel with the post content, media, and scheduling details. Click **Edit** to open the full composer and make changes. For recurring posts, you will be asked whether to edit this occurrence only or all future instances.
### Rescheduling via drag and drop
In the weekly view, drag a post block to a different time slot to reschedule it instantly. The platform updates the scheduled time without opening the composer.
### Deleting a post
Click the three-dot menu on a post block and select **Delete**. For recurring posts, choose to delete only this instance or the entire recurring series.
### Duplicating a post
Select **Duplicate** from the three-dot menu to create a copy of a post. The duplicate opens in the composer pre-filled with the original content, media, and settings — ready to be modified for a different date, platform, or audience.

## Bulk scheduling
To schedule many posts at once without filling the calendar manually, use CSV import. Click **New Post > Bulk Schedule via CSV** and upload a prepared file. Imported posts appear on the calendar immediately after upload.
For details on CSV format and upload limits, see [Bulk scheduling via CSV](/marketing/social-csv-import).
***
## Recurring posts on the calendar
Recurring posts appear on every date in the series as individual blocks. A recurring icon marks each instance so you can distinguish them from one-off scheduled posts. The recurring series is managed from the **Content > Recurring Posts** tab, where you can pause, resume, or delete the entire series.
***
## Pending approval posts
Posts submitted for team approval appear on the calendar in a distinct Pending Approval state. Approvers can review these posts directly from the calendar view. Approved posts automatically transition to Scheduled on their designated date and time. Rejected posts remain in the calendar as editable drafts.
Switch to list view when auditing a large content plan. The list view makes it easy to scan post content, check platform assignments, and bulk-edit scheduling decisions without scrolling through a month grid.

## Frequently asked questions
Use the date navigation arrows at the top of the calendar to move forward or backward by month or week. You can also click the month/year label to open a date picker and jump directly to any date.
Yes. By default the calendar shows posts from all connected accounts simultaneously. Use the account filter to isolate a specific account, or leave it set to "All Accounts" to see the full picture.
A red block indicates a post that failed to publish. Click the block to see the specific error message. Common causes include an expired social account token, a media file that does not meet platform specifications, or a temporary API issue with the social network.
Drag-and-drop rescheduling is available in the weekly view. Drag a post block to a new time slot and the scheduled time updates automatically. In the monthly view, use the three-dot menu and select Edit to change the date and time manually.
Draft posts are visible in the list view when you filter by the Draft status. They do not appear as blocks on the monthly or weekly calendar grid until they are scheduled.
