The Calendar brings all your communication activities together in one place. Plan upcoming publications, track content progress, coordinate campaigns, and see what's happening across your channels and teams.
Whether you're managing daily social media publishing or planning communication activities several months ahead, the Calendar helps you stay organised, identify gaps in your schedule, and keep your communication efforts aligned.
Alongside social media posts, you can also plan campaigns, events, newsletters, blog articles, and other communication activities using Frames and Contents. This gives you a complete overview of your communication planning, across social media and beyond.
Calendar Views
The Calendar offers three different views, depending on how you want to organise and explore your communication activities. Switch between them to get an overall picture of your schedule, compare activities across channels, or review individual content items in more detail.
Standard View
The Standard View displays your scheduled activities in a familiar calendar layout, with Post Sets, Frames, and Contents arranged chronologically.
It's ideal for understanding what's happening across your communication schedule at a glance. See which campaigns are running, how individual publications fit into them, and where your schedule might be too busy or still have gaps.
For daily work, you can quickly check upcoming publications and their statuses. For longer planning periods, you can see how campaigns, events, and content activities overlap.
Grouped View
The Grouped View organises your Calendar into separate rows based on different criteria. This makes it easier to compare activities, understand how content is distributed, and identify gaps across campaigns, channels, or content types.
You can choose between four grouping options:
Frame → Network: See which social media networks are covered within individual campaigns or activities.
Frame → Content Type: Understand which types of content are planned for a campaign, including social media posts, newsletters, and blog articles.
Network → Post Type: Review the different post formats planned for each social media network.
Content Type: Compare activities across different communication formats, including social and non-social content.
Groups can be expanded or collapsed to focus on the information you need.
For example, grouping by Frame → Network helps you check whether a campaign has enough content planned across its social media channels. Grouping by Content Type can help you understand how your communication activities are balanced between social posts, newsletters, and other formats.
List View
The List View displays your scheduled activities in a structured list instead of a calendar grid.
It's particularly useful when you want to review individual items, compare their details and statuses, or work through a larger number of planned activities without the visual complexity of a calendar.
Selecting a Time Period
Each Calendar view supports different time periods, allowing you to move between detailed operational planning and a broader strategic perspective.
Day & Week: Manage daily publishing, review upcoming posts and their statuses, and coordinate short-term activities.
Month: See how campaigns and content are distributed across several weeks, identify scheduling gaps, and maintain a consistent communication schedule.
Quarter & Year: Get a strategic overview of upcoming campaigns, events, and communication initiatives to coordinate longer-term planning.
Custom Period: Select a specific date range to review activities within a particular timeframe.
For example, a social media manager might use the Weekly Standard View to coordinate upcoming publications, while a team lead might prefer a Quarterly View to understand which campaigns and communication activities are planned across the organisation.
You can switch between views and time periods at any time, depending on the level of detail you need.
Focus View
When you want to concentrate on a particular campaign or activity, Focus View lets you quickly narrow down the Calendar to a selected Frame and its related content.
Simply hover over a Frame and select Focus to temporarily hide unrelated activities and concentrate on its schedule and publications.
A banner at the top indicates which Frame you're focusing on. Select Exit View to return to your previous Calendar overview.
This is particularly useful when reviewing a campaign's content, checking its publishing schedule, or coordinating related activities without distractions.
Filters & Saved Views
Use filters to focus on the communication activities that matter to you. You can filter by criteria such as Teams, Tags, Networks, Profiles, Owners, Statuses, Object Types, and more.
For example, you can display only LinkedIn posts awaiting approval, focus on activities assigned to your team, or review content planned for a specific campaign.
You can also save customised views and return to them later without having to configure your filters and settings again. This is especially helpful when regularly switching between different teams, channels, or areas of responsibility.
Customising Your Calendar
Use the View menu to adjust how Frames and Post Sets are displayed. Depending on your workflow, you might prefer a detailed visual overview or a compact layout that displays as much content as possible.
Frame View Options
Customise how Frames appear in your Calendar. Show or hide Frames, use their assigned colours to distinguish campaigns and activities, or switch to a compact layout to save space.
Post Set View Options
Adjust how much detail your post cards display. Choose between compact and detailed layouts, show or hide images and tags, and use colours to make publishing statuses easier to recognise.
These options help you maintain a clear overview, even when managing a busy publishing schedule.
Preview & Editing
You can quickly access Post Sets, Contents, and Frames directly from the Calendar.
Single-click: Opens a preview for Post Sets in the sidebar or a modal for Contents and Frames.
Double-click: Opens the corresponding detail page.
This makes it easy to review information and access individual items without losing track of your planning overview.
Native Posts
Posts published directly through Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, or TikTok are also integrated into your Calendar, including natively published Instagram Stories.
These posts are marked with a Native label and can be previewed directly in the sidebar.
This gives you a more complete overview of your publishing activities, including content published outside Facelift. You can also filter for native posts to review them separately or include them in your regular planning views.
Unscheduled Content
Not every communication activity has a fixed publication date from the beginning.
With Unscheduled Content, you can prepare Post Sets, Frames, and Contents before deciding when they should be published or take place. This keeps your Calendar focused on scheduled activities while allowing you to work on upcoming content in advance.
You can access these items through the dedicated Unscheduled Content section or directly from the Calendar sidebar.
Drag an unscheduled item into the Calendar to assign a date, or move a scheduled item back into the unscheduled area when plans change.
This is particularly useful for maintaining a backlog of content ideas, preparing future campaigns, and managing activities whose timing is still being discussed.
