# Use the calendar

The calendar shows your posts on a month view, so you can spot empty days and move posts around.

## Open the calendar

1. In the left menu, click **Posts**.
2. Click **Calendar** at the top.

## Read the calendar

- It shows one month at a time. Weeks start on Monday.
- Use the arrows to go to the previous or next month, and **Today** to come back.
- Each post shows its time, a picture if it has one, and the start of its caption.
- Colors show the status: **violet** = scheduled, **green** = published, **red** = failed, **gray** = draft.
- Times use the time zone in your profile. See [Profile and time zone](/help/account/profile-timezone).
- Drafts **without** a time do not appear. Find them on the **Posts** page under **Drafts**.
- If you have channel groups, filter with **All groups**.

A post that failed on only some channels shows as green here. Check the **Needs attention** tab on the **Posts** page for those.

## Open a post

- Click a **scheduled** or **draft** post to open it in the editor.
- Click a **published** or **failed** post to see its details on the **Posts** page.

## Move a post to another day

1. Drag a scheduled post onto another day.
2. Drop it. The post keeps its time of day and moves to the new date.

You see **Post rescheduled.**

Good to know:

- You can only drag **scheduled** and **draft** posts.
- Dropping a **draft** on a day turns it into a **scheduled** post. It will publish on that day.
- You cannot drop a post on a time that has already passed. You see **Couldn't reschedule** and the post goes back.
- Dragging works with a mouse. On a phone or tablet, open the post and change its time instead.

To create a post from here, click **New post**. To go back to the list, click **List view**.
