How to use the Content Calendar in practice
There are two ways to use this feature, depending on how much control you want over timing.
1. Use Auto-Schedule for instant bulk scheduling
From the Created Posts section, select one or more draft articles and click Auto-Schedule. This function will:
- Refer to your settings for preferred publishing days
- Use predefined time slots based on your configuration
- Respect the maximum number of articles per day you’ve set
This is the fastest and most scalable way to schedule large volumes of content while ensuring everything goes live at the right time.
2. Use manual scheduling with drag and drop
For more control, open the Content Calendar and:
- View all draft articles not yet scheduled
- Drag and drop articles to your desired date
- Select the time of day each post should go live
This is ideal when you want to prioritise specific content on certain dates or align with product launches, seasonal events, or promotional windows.
3. Adjust, edit, and review articles within the calendar
Once your articles are placed on the calendar, you can:
- Click into each post to view its scheduled date and time
- Edit directly from the calendar pop-up, including opening the full article editor
- Adjust scheduling with a single click, and changes will reflect automatically
This makes it easy to keep your plan flexible without losing control.
What is the Content Calendar and how does it work?
The Schedule Content Ahead feature, powered by the integrated Content Calendar, helps you take a proactive approach to your SEO content plan. Rather than publishing reactively, you can prepare dozens, even hundreds of articles in advance and schedule them to go live exactly when your audience is most active.
This functionality is built to scale. Whether you’re managing a weekly blog or rolling out content in bulk, the scheduling system lets you automate publication based on your preferred days, times, and volume, all aligned with your editorial and SEO strategy.

The Content Calendar feature makes content planning simple, visual, and scalable. Whether you’re scheduling one article or a hundred, this tool removes the friction from your publishing workflow.
You’ll always know what’s going live and when, without having to micromanage your editorial process. This isn’t just a feature for saving time, it’s a system that helps you stay organised, stay ahead, and stay visible in search.
