Alright, let's get real โ€” with the sheer volume of social media posts you're juggling, knowing which post goes live when can be a challenge. โ˜๏ธ

But hey, you're a savvy marketer, and you deserve a sleek content calendar view to manage your social media posts!

With NapoleonCat's Publisher, you can easily organize and view your social media posts in a few nifty views.

Let's dive in!


Main Calendar View

Think of the main calendar view as your social media command center. It's where you can see all the posts you and your teammates have scheduled with NapoleonCat!

You can also add a new post directly from the main calendar view. Just click the blue "Create post" button:

โŒ›The main calendar view shows you a span of 4 weeks (28 days) at a glance.

It's visually appealing and super easy to navigate. Here's what you'll find:

  • ๐Ÿ”  Internal Titles: Just like you'd label your files for easy access, you can set up internal titles for your posts. This way, you can spot them quickly when you need them.

    ๐Ÿ’ก Examples: "Monday Motivation Quote", "Flash Sale Friday", "New Blog Post Alert", "Holiday Special Announcement", "Customer Testimonial - Sarah"

    ๐Ÿ“š Need some help setting up internal titles?

  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Content Tags: You can assign content tags to each post, making it a breeze to categorize and find them.

    ๐Ÿ’ก Examples: "ProductLaunch", "HolidaySpecial", "CustomerTestimonial", "NewBlogPost", "FlashSale"

    ๐Ÿ“š Want to know more about content tags?

  • ๐ŸŸข Post Status: It's like traffic lights for your posts! When you see a post with a blue overlay, it's been scheduled and it's ready to hit the road. A red overlay, on the other hand, signals trouble - perhaps there were issues with posting like missing permissions.

    Need to know if a post was published? Click on the post from the main calendar view and check for a green tick next to it:

  • ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Day View: Just hover over a tile for a given day and click on the hamburger menu to see all posts for that day along with their status.

  • ๐Ÿ“ Editing or Canceling Posts: You can hit the Calendar icon next to each post to continue editing it, or cancel publication. Easy!

  • ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Navigating the Dates: You can see previous and next weeks by using the buttons at the top, just like flipping the pages of your calendar.

...the post is either scheduled or has already gone live. Click and look for the checkmark to confirm its status:


List View (Posts)

The list view is like your personal social media organizer, neatly divided into three separate tabs - Upcoming, Past, and Unscheduled.

With it, you can keep your posts neatly organized and switch between these tabs with ease:

Here's what you'll find in the list view:

  • ๐Ÿ“… Post Date: Just like in your planner, youโ€™ll see the post date for both past and upcoming posts. Itโ€™s like a mini timeline of your social media activity!

  • ๐Ÿ”  Internal Titles: Remember those handy internal titles we talked about? Youโ€™ll see them here too.

  • ๐Ÿ“„ Social Media Profile: Shows exactly where youโ€™re sharing each post. Just hover over your profile.

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Assigned Person: This is the person responsible for the post. Itโ€™s like having a name tag on each post. Hereโ€™s where you can learn more about the assigned people.

  • ๐Ÿ“ข Status: Tells you if the post is scheduled, published, or still a draft. Itโ€™s like having a progress report for each post!

  • ๐Ÿ’ก Internal Tag: Just like in the main view, this is a label for each post that helps you categorize and find your posts quickly!


My Tasks

And now, for the grand finale - the "My Tasks" view! This is your personal space, where you'll find three tabs: Upcoming, Past, and Unscheduled.

These are all posts that you were assigned to!

Need to add a trending hashtag to your post? Or maybe you've just received a fresh infographic from your design team that you need to include? No problem!

You can easily access and edit all your assigned posts right here. ๐Ÿ‘‡
