The calendar and explorer are two views into your Posts workspace. Use whichever view helps you find the post fastest, then edit the actual post draft instead of recreating it elsewhere.

What this guide helps you do

• Find a blog or social post by date, channel, folder, status, or file name.
• Open the post editor with the saved content and metadata loaded.
• Preview changes before publishing, scheduling, or moving back to draft.

Before you start

• Know whether you are looking for a blog post, social post, scheduled item, or draft.
• Check the date range, channel filters, and status filters if the post is not visible.
• Have replacement copy, media, or metadata ready before editing.

Do it manually

1. Open Posts and choose Calendar when timing matters or Explorer when folder structure matters.
2. Find the post by date, channel, title, folder, or status.
3. Open the post editor from the card or file entry.
4. Make the copy, media, schedule, channel, tag, or metadata changes needed.
5. Preview the post and confirm the correct item was changed.
6. Publish, schedule, save, or move it back to draft based on the review decision.

Ask Faster AI

• Find the scheduled posts for next week and suggest copy edits that make them clearer. Keep changes as drafts for review.
• Review this blog post from the explorer and flag weak title, missing media, broken links, and SEO gaps.
• Update this social post for LinkedIn and Instagram, but do not publish until I approve the preview.

Review before saving or publishing

• Confirm you opened the intended post before saving.
• Check preview, channel, schedule time, links, media, and approval status.
• Review AI changes against the original request before publishing.

Common issues and fixes

• If a post is missing from calendar, check status filters, channel filters, and the month or week range.
• If the editor opens without expected content, refresh and reopen from the explorer entry.
• If a preview is blank, check that copy or media was saved before previewing again.
