Scheduler — Scheduling & Drag-Drop Reschedule
How content lands on the calendar, and how to drag events to new dates without breaking anything.
What is it?
Two workflows: scheduling (creating calendar events from Content Studio) and rescheduling (moving existing events by dragging). Every scheduled content item creates a set of calendar events — one per tab (article, LinkedIn Company, LinkedIn Personal, Facebook). Events are linked to the underlying draft, so editing the draft is separate from moving the schedule date.
When should I use it?
- You're booking a launch date from Content Studio.
- A planned launch needs to shift — drag the event to the new date.
- You want to batch-reschedule multiple events — do it one at a time by dragging.
How to use it
Initial scheduling
- In Content Studio, click Approve & Schedule.
- Pick a date in the modal. The app creates events for all relevant tabs (typically 4: article + LinkedIn Co/Me + Facebook).
- Confirm. The events appear on the Calendar immediately.
Drag-drop reschedule
- Open the Scheduler screen.
- Click and hold any event chip.
- Drag to the target day cell.
- Release. The event jumps and the change is saved automatically.
Tips and best practices
- Schedule article and social for the same day (or +1 day) — tighter cadence amplifies reach.
- Hover over a day cell before dropping to see a subtle highlight — confirms the drop target.
- For recurring content series, schedule the first week manually then duplicate the pattern for subsequent weeks.
- Watch for conflicts — if you drag an event onto a weekend and your client doesn't publish weekends, move to Monday.
Gotchas and limits
- Mobile doesn't support drag-drop well. Use a desktop for bulk rescheduling.
- Rescheduling doesn't regenerate social posts. If the content is now out-of-season, re-edit the draft first.
- You can't drag an event to a date in the past.
- Rescheduling an article event doesn't move its associated social events — each is independent. Drag each separately.
