How to use the Danim posting calendar

The posting calendar lets you view, organize and manage all your social media posts from Danim.

Written by Sophie Delpech

In brief

The Calendar gathers all the social media posts you have made from Danim: posted, scheduled, draft or in error. There you check your schedule, move a post with drag and drop, edit it or delete it.

Before you start 🎯

  • The calendar is available with all plans.

  • It only shows posts created from Danim.

  • As a team, you see your colleagues' posts, but you can only edit your own.

Using the calendar

Step 1: Open the calendar

Click Calendar in the left menu.

Step 2: Choose the view and filter

  • View: at the top of the calendar, choose Month, Week, Day or List. The List view is sorted from Newest to Oldest.

  • Statuses: tick the posts to display (Scheduled, Posted, Draft, Error).

  • Connected accounts: only display the posts of one or more pages.

  • As a team: tick Show team posts to also see your colleagues' posts.

Step 3: Manage a post

Click a post to open its preview. Depending on its status, you can:

  • Edit: change the networks, the text or the media;

  • Reschedule: choose a new date and time;

  • Delete: remove the post, after confirmation. This is permanent.

To move a scheduled post, drag it to another day or time. A post that has already gone out can no longer be edited, moved or deleted.

Step 4: Create a post from the calendar

Click Create a post, at the top right, then choose your media in the Media block:

Good to know:

The rest works like any other post: ➡️ Writing and customizing your posts, then post right away or schedule.


FAQ

1. I can't see one of my posts.

Check the Statuses and Connected accounts filters and, as a team, the Show team posts box. The calendar only shows posts created from Danim.

2. Why can't I edit a colleague's post?

Posts created by other members are read-only: you can view them, but you cannot move, edit or delete them.

3. My post is in error, what should I do?

Click it to see the reason (for example Connection expired or Video too large), fix the problem, then edit or reschedule the post. For an expired connection: ➡️ How to reconnect or disconnect a social network

4. I can't move a post.

You cannot move a post into the past, or to a time when the same page already has a post. A post that has already been published can no longer be moved.

5. What happens if I delete a scheduled post?

It will not be posted. Deletion is permanent.

Best practices 🎓

  • Check the calendar at the start of the week to make sure your posts are well spread out.

  • Use the Week view to spot days without posts.

  • As a team, show the team's posts to avoid duplicates on the same property.

  • Regularly filter on the Error status to quickly fix what did not go out.
