The Unscheduled Queue (UQ) is a dynamic functionality designed to simplify content creation and scheduling.
→ It is a shared space for your unscheduled posts and ideas (without specified date and time) and it is accessible to all users with Scheduler access. However, what each user sees in this queue varies depending on their Scheduler Role and the post Status settings. 💡
With UQ, you can effortlessly create and save posts or ideas for future use. Whether it's content without a specified publication date or posts intended for multiple uses across various campaigns, the Unscheduled Queue offers a solution that fits every need.
Unscheduled Queue allows you to:
Stock up on evergreen posts for future use!
Duplicate and republish previously successful posts.
Get your posts ready, even if you don’t know their publication date yet.
Store your frequently used ideas.
How to:
To create posts from within the Unscheduled Queue, simply access your UQ by clicking the "folder" icon at the top of your calendar. Then click the red "plus" button at the top of the folder to create a new post.
Alternatively, you can create a new post in your calendar as usual and save it directly to the Unscheduled Queue by selecting the "Save to Unscheduled Queue" option.
