Frequently Asked Questions

How do I track performance across multiple platforms?

The Analytics Dashboard includes platform-specific fields that automatically pull from your Master Content Calendar. Create separate entries for each platform when posting the same content across multiple channels, or use the platform multi-select to track cross-platform performance in aggregate.

Can I use this template for multiple clients?

Absolutely! The Client/Brand field in the Master Content Calendar allows you to filter and organize content by different accounts. You can create separate views for each client or use the filter options to focus on specific brand work while maintaining everything in one organized system.

How do I handle content approval workflows?

Use the Status field to create an approval process: set posts to “Needs Review” when ready for client approval, then update to “Ready” once approved and “Scheduled” when queued for publication. You can also use the Team & Client Hub to track client contact preferences and approval requirements for each account.
