The content calendar in Studio
Plan your pieces by month or week in Studio: create content, upload it by dragging files, change dates and filter by format, status or tag.
On this page
The Calendar is the view where you see what goes out and when. Each piece sits on its day, and from here you create it, change its date or set it aside with no date until you know when it goes out.
To open it, go into a project and choose the Calendar tab. If you don't see it, the project doesn't have that view turned on.
Month and week
At the top right you switch between Month and Week:
- Month gives you the overview: every piece of the month in a grid.
- Week shows seven days with more room for each piece. On a phone, the week becomes a list-style agenda.
Create a piece
You need to be an Editor on the project. See roles and permissions if you don't see the button.
- Click Create in the project header.
- Choose the Content type: post, story, reel, video… (all of them are in pieces and formats).
- Set the Date. You can leave it empty and decide later.
- In Resources, add the piece's files: drag them into the box or pick them from the project library.
- Write the Description, which is the text that goes with the post.
- Click Create content, or Upload and create if you added files.
Several pieces at once
If you drop several files into Resources, Studio asks what to do with them:
- Separate: one post per file. The final button becomes Create N posts.
- Combine: all the files in a single post.
Drop files onto a day
Quick shortcut: drag files from your computer straight onto a calendar cell. The create window opens with that date already set and the files loaded.
Change a piece's date
- On a computer: drag the piece to another day. It saves when you drop it.
- On a phone or tablet: tap the piece and choose Change date.
Changing the date doesn't publish anything. Studio doesn't schedule posts: the date is for planning, and you publish whenever you want with Publish now.
Undated content
Pieces without a date appear in the No date section of the side panel. To remove a piece's date:
- Drag it from the calendar to the No date section.
- On a phone or tablet, tap it and choose Remove date.
To plan it again, drag it from No date to the day you want.
Delete a piece by dragging it
In Month view, when you start dragging a piece, the Drag here to delete area appears at the bottom. Drop it there and the piece is deleted.
Filter the calendar
Open the Filters panel to see only what you care about:
- Format: for example, only reels or only stories.
- Status: pieces in review, approved ones…
- Tags: the ones you've created in the project.
On a computer, Studio remembers whether you left the panel open or closed. On phones and tablets it always starts closed so it doesn't cover the calendar.
On phones and tablets
On touch screens, tapping a piece opens a quick preview instead of the full piece. From there you have:
- Open piece, to go to the whole piece.
- Copy text, to paste the description wherever you need it.
- Change date and Remove date.
- All as PNG or All as PDF, to download the designs.
- Download the folder, with the piece's resources.
On a computer, a click opens the piece directly.
Frequently asked questions
Does setting a date publish the piece that day?
No. Studio doesn't schedule posts. The date organizes your calendar; to publish, open the piece and use Publish now.
Why don't I see the Create button?
Only editors can create pieces. If your role is Commenter or Viewer, you can see the calendar and comment, but you can't create or move content.
Can I create lots of posts at once?
Yes. Drop several files into Resources, choose Separate and click Create N posts: you get one piece per file.
Where are the pieces that have no date?
In the No date section of the side panel. Drag them to a calendar day when you decide when they go out.
