Content Calendar
The Content Calendar gives you a powerful overview of your publishing schedule. This screen works as a marketing calendar and an editorial calendar. You can easily see when content is planned, and when it was published.
You can also drag-and-drop content to a new publication date. By default, you see all the WordPress content you have planned for the next few weeks. If you need to drill down, you can filter the calendar by post status, categories, users or post types.

Content Overview
The Content Overview screen is a companion to the Calendar screen. Whereas the Calendar allows you to see content organized by dates, Content Overview allows you to drill down and see content organized by status, categories, or users. This content organizer allows to choose any data from WordPress to show in columns.
In the top-right corner is a “Print” button. Click this to get a printable overview of all your planned content.

Content Board
The Content Board screen is a kanban board that you can use to organize your content. The Content Board provides one column for each status. You can drag-and-drop posts to change their status between Draft, Pending Review, Published, Scheduled, and more.

Reminder Notifications
This PublishPress Planner Pro feature allows you to send notifications either before or after the publishing date for content. For example, before publication, you can send a reminder to editors, asking them to proof-read the post for publication. Or two or three days after publication, you can send a reminder to various team members, asking them to promote the post on social media.
