Reschedule posts on the calendar

Move a post to a different posting slot on the Calendar by dragging it or by picking a slot from a list. The calendar shows one week of posting slots and the posts in them. Open it from the sidebar: Content > Calendar.

Use Previous week and Next week (the arrows at the top) to change weeks, and Today to come back to the current one. The week's dates and your workspace timezone sit next to the arrows.

Read the week

The calendar has one row per channel, with a column for each day. Under each channel name, the row shows progress against its cadence, like "2 of 3 this week". A channel with no cadence shows a count instead, like "2 committed posts".

Each post card shows the post's time, its status, the first line of the post, and its media. A dashed card is an external post published outside Mark, tagged with where it came from. A card marked Off-slot is a post whose time doesn't match any of the channel's slots.

Slots with no post show one of three labels:

• Missed: the slot's time has passed and nothing went out.
• Gap: the slot is in the next 7 days and has no post yet.
• Open slot: the slot is more than 7 days away.

Slots come from Content > Slots.

Move a post

A post can move to an empty future slot on its own channel, in the week you're looking at. Published posts, external posts, and posts with changes requested have no move controls.

To drag a post:

1. Grab the handle on the post card.
2. The slots that can take it light up and show Move here.
3. Drop the post on one of those slots.

To move a post without dragging:

1. Open Move to slot… on the post card. It lists only the slots that can take the post.
2. Choose a slot.
3. Select Move.

The calendar refreshes with the post in its new slot.

What moving does to review

If the post is a draft, it only gets the new time. Nothing else changes.

Any other post goes back to review with the new time. That includes posts that were already approved or scheduled, so someone has to approve it again before it can publish. For how review works, see Review and approval.

When a move is refused

If Mark can't make the move, the calendar shows why under the week:

• "Choose a slot on the same channel." A post can only move within its own channel.
• "Choose an empty future slot." The slot's time has passed.
• "That posting slot is already occupied." Another post took the slot first. Pick a different one.
• "Published posts are read-only." The post already went out.
• "External posts are read-only." The post was published outside Mark.
• "This post changed. Refresh the calendar and try again." Someone else changed the post while you were moving it. Refresh the page and move it again.
• "That post or posting slot is no longer available." The post or the slot was deleted. Refresh the page.
