Watch a video on how to use the content calendar in Blaze below:
Open your Project in Calendar View
From the homepage, the projects are located in the "files and projects" category.
When you click a project it will open that project in its default view.
You can change a project view by selecting the drop down menu shown here. The view with the checkmark represents the current view. Simply select one of the other views to change them.
Understanding the Calendar View
Posts with scheduled dates are shown on the calendar with the thumbnail of the post, an icon of the platform it will post to as well as a time that post is scheduled to go live.

Highlighting a post will give you a preview of the text content of the post as well as some actions: Delete, Copy, or Post Now.
Delete - Deletes the post entirely
Copy - Duplicates the post
Post Now - Ignores scheduled date and time and posts to social media platform immediately
Clicking on any post on the calendar view will open the post in the editor
it was created in.
(Blaze Designer or Blaze Documents.)
Rescheduling Posts
Simply click and drag a post to a new date to reschedule it. The image shown below demonstrates a post being reschedule from the 21st to the 20th.
Posts rescheduled in this view will retain the same time (in this case, 9:00am).
Posts rescheduled in the week view can have their date and time changed by clicking and dragging the existing post to a new date and time.
The image shown below has been changed to the week view where a post on the 14th has been dragged to the 13th and changed from 9:00am to 9:45 by changing the placement vertically.
Understanding the Unplanned Tab
The calendar view shows all posts that have been given a scheduled date and time. The unplanned tab contains any posts that have been created in the project without a schedule date or time.
If the unplanned pane is not showing on your screen, simply click the Unplanned button next to the Month button (shown below) to toggle it on/off
Scheduling Unplanned Posts
To schedule an unplanned post simply click and drag it out to the desired date.
Once you place your post on the designated date, a window will pop-up asking you to verify the date, click Yes, select post time to select a time.
Clicking No, keep as draft will return the post to the Unplanned pane.
Select the time from the drop down menu and then click Schedule to post automatically.
