Utilize the Editorial Calendar to have an easy overview of draft, scheduled, and published news posts inside your employee app or intranet. Posts scheduled in the News editor are automatically added to the Editorial Calendar. Additionally, space and channel filters help editors narrow down the overview to specific content. With the optional Full Transparency, content from all spaces and channels will also be displayed in the calendar in a view-only format.
Directly from the Editorial Calendar, you can conveniently:
- Add draft posts to the calendar
- Change the publishing date and time of a post
- Schedule a draft post for automatic publishing
- Edit the post’s title and teaser text
- Navigate to the post editor
- Add a blocker
Additionally, you can view useful information for each post, such as:
- The target audience
- Which notification types are activated for a post
- The creator
- The posts status
Adding an Existing Draft For Manual Publishing
Posts scheduled for automatic publishing populate automatically in the editorial calendar, but you can also add draft posts that need manual publishing to the calendar. By adding drafts to the editorial calendar, you can give other editors an idea of when you aim to publish a post well in advance.
- In the Studio, navigate to the Planning > Editorial Calendar.
- Optionally use the channel or space filters to more easily find the post you want to add to the editorial calendar.
- Drag the post from the drafts column and drop it on the day you want to plan the post.
If there are no posts scheduled for that day, the draft will automatically be planned for 9:00 am. For days where content is already scheduled, the draft will automatically take the next available time depending on where you drop it.
Your draft has been added to the calendar. The post will still need to be manually published on the chosen date and time.
Changing the Publishing Date of Content
You can easily adjust the date after adding a scheduled post or draft to the editorial calendar, including overdue posts.
- In the Studio, navigate to Planning > Editorial Calendar.
- Select the post you want to change the date for.
- Drag and drop the post to the desired date.
You’ve changed the post date. The publishing time will remain the same.
If you want to move the post by more than a week, or adjust the publishing time, use the following method:
- Select the post you want to change the date for.
- In the flyout menu, click the pen icon.
- Click into the date field and select your desired publication date from the calendar.
- Optionally, you can also change the publication time for the post.
- Click Save.
You’ve changed the post date.
Scheduling a Draft Post

- Select the post to which you want to make edits.
The flyout menu opens. - Click the pen icon.
- Click into the editing field and adjust the post title or teaser text as needed.

- Select the post.
The flyout menu opens. - Click on the post title.
The post editor automatically opens in a new tab.
Using Filters
By default, all news that editors have access to will display in the Editorial Calendar. Editors can filters to narrow down and limit the number of posts shown in the calendar at one time. This is particularly useful in cases where editors have access to multiple channels or spaces with a steady stream of draft, scheduled, and published news. Use filters to narrow down what is shown in order to have a clearer and more precise overview. Combine more than one filter category to further refine what is displayed.
Currently, there are two filters available automatically:
- Channel: Select one or more news channels. Only news posts from the selected channel(s) will display. When Transparency Mode is enabled, the All Other Channels box will appear. This option shows news posts only from channels that editors are not able to access.
- Space: Select one or more spaces. Only news posts from the selected space(s) will display. This filter will only display if the editor has access to at least one space.
Using Full Transparency
By default, news channel editors can only see the posts for the news channels that they are able to access. After Full Transparency is enabled for your organization, editors are able to view all planned and scheduled news posts across all news channels. This makes important global announcements and other posts visible to local news editors so they can strategically plan around them, helping to increase engagement and visibility.
Though they can see the posts for other news channels in the calendar, editors are not able to edit or view specific post details. This keeps sensitive content private while still allowing optimal planning across your platform.
From the flyout for news from other channels, editors are able to see:
- Post title
- Article image
- Publication status (draft, overdue, published, scheduled)
- Date and time of publication
- Audience (if the editor is a part of that audience)
