Setting Up Your Posting Schedule

Accessing Schedule Settings

When you navigate to your social media scheduling page, you'll see the "Schedule Settings" section at the top. This area allows you to choose specific days and times when your content should be posted automatically, helping you maintain a consistent presence across your social media accounts.

Enabling Scheduled Posting

You'll find a toggle switch that controls your automated posting. When scheduled posting is turned off, you'll see "Turn On Scheduled Posting" with a note that you can toggle it on to start automatic posting at your scheduled times. Once you enable it, the toggle will display "Scheduled Posting is On" and confirm that posts will automatically publish at your scheduled times.

❗️

Turning scheduled posting on or off will affect the visibility of your queue - you'll only see your queued content when scheduling is enabled.

Adding Posting Times

To set up when your posts should go live:

1. Find your desired day in the schedule grid
2. Click "+ add post time" under any day of the week
3. Set your posting time in the modal that appears:
   1. Enter the hour (whole numbers only)
   2. Enter the minutes (whole numbers only)
   3. Select AM or PM from the dropdown
4. Click "Add Time" to save, or "Cancel" to discard changes

Managing Your Schedule

• Multiple times per day: You can add several posting times to any day - the schedule will expand to accommodate all your time slots
• Removing times: Hover over any scheduled time to reveal a trash icon. Click it to get a confirmation dialog where you can choose to delete the time slot or cancel the action
• Visual feedback: When you add new time slots, your posting queue will automatically refresh to show the newly available slots

Managing Your Posting Queue

Understanding the Queue The Posting Queue section shows all your prepared content that's waiting to be published. Posts will automatically publish at the next available time slot in your schedule, following the order you've set.

Queue Organization Your queued posts are organized by day, with each day shown under a black banner displaying the day of the week and date. This makes it easy to see what content is planned for each day.

Post Cards Each post in your queue appears as a card showing:

• A drag handle for reordering
• The post's image
• Headline and caption
• Scheduled time
• An eye icon for previewing content
• A trash icon for removal

Reordering Posts You can rearrange most posts by:

1. Hovering over the drag icon until you can grab the post card
2. Dragging the card to a different day or position
3. Releasing to drop the post in its new location

Note: Posts that have a specific date and time set cannot be reordered. You'll see a message stating "This post has a set date and time and can't be reordered."

Previewing Content Click the eyeball icon on any post card to see exactly how your content will appear when published. The preview modal shows your post as it would look on the actual social media platform. Close the preview by clicking the "X" in the corner.

Removing Posts To remove a post from your queue:

1. Click the trash icon on the post card
2. Confirm deletion in the modal that asks "Remove this post from queue?"
3. Click "Delete" to remove the post, or "Cancel" to keep it

The queue will automatically adjust after removing posts.

Queue Status Messages Depending on your setup, you might see different status messages:

Empty queue: "No posts in queue. Add content to start sharing on social media."

Scheduling disabled: "Enable your posting schedule to view and manage your queue."

These messages help you understand what action to take next to get your automated posting working smoothly.

Tips for Success

• Set up your posting schedule first before adding content to your queue
• Consider your audience's most active times when scheduling posts
• Regularly review your queue to ensure content remains relevant and timely
• Use the preview function to double-check how your posts will appear before they go live
