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:

βŒ›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:

  • πŸ”  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.

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

  • 🟒 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.
