Viewing and managing the calendar
Written By Nick
Last updated 3 days ago
The calendar is where you see what's going out and when. It shows scheduled and published posts across Instagram and your blog, with filters to narrow the view. Find it in the left navigation under Calendar.
What you'll see
The calendar opens in week view by default. Each day is a column showing the posts scheduled or published that day. Each post card includes:
The platform icon (Instagram or blog)
The scheduled or published time, in your account timezone
A preview image and the first line of the caption
Carousel dots if the post has multiple photos

Navigating the calendar
Move week to week with the arrow buttons at the top of the calendar.
Jump to a specific date using the mini-month picker in the left sidebar. The arrows above the mini-month move month to month.
Scroll back through history as far as you like — the calendar shows every post since you started using Social Valet.
Filtering what shows up
The left sidebar has two filters:
Post type — toggle Instagram posts and blog posts on or off independently. Both are on by default.
Album — type an album name to show only posts generated from that album. Clear the field to show all albums again.
Filters can be combined.
Rescheduling a post
Click any post card on the calendar to open a quick preview. From the preview, open the post to edit its date and time. Save, and the calendar updates immediately.
Posts that have already published are read-only — they've gone out on Instagram or your blog and can't be moved.
Today's status
Below the mini-month, a small banner tells you whether anything is scheduled for the current day. If your bench is empty or your cadence is light, you'll see "You have no posts scheduled today." It's informational, not an error — auto-scheduling will fill in days from your Approved bench as you have content available.
If something goes wrong
A post is missing from the calendar. Check your Post type and Album filters in the sidebar — one may be excluding it. Also confirm the post is actually scheduled (Approved posts without a date won't appear; they live on the Approved bench until auto-scheduling assigns a time).
A post can't be rescheduled. Published posts can't be moved. If the post is showing as published, it's already out on the platform.
The calendar feels sparse. Either your Approved bench is light, or your weekly post target is set lower than daily. See How auto-scheduling works for how Social Valet decides how many posts go out per week.
