Getting Started with Editorial Calendar

Use the Editorial Calendar to track your content production processes within Positional.

To get started, create a new Editorial Calendar:

After creating your new Editorial Calendar, you’ll see the default template that you can use to get started:

By default, we provide a few information fields, including Stage, Author, Title, Primary Keyword, Category, Published Date, Published URL, and Notes.

There are four different types of column, including Text, Date, Number, and Label. The Labels can be adjusted and color-coded for your specific use case:

All of these fields are configurable, and the default columns can be easily removed by clicking on the dropdown within the column and then by clicking on Delete Column:

You can rearrange columns by selecting and then dragging them within the header row. By default, Editorial Calendars have 10 rows. You can add additional rows by clicking on Add Row:

Data can be copied into your Editorial Calendar; however, you must have the necessary columns and rows created to contain that data. Otherwise, not all of the selected data will be copied into the table.

Users can create as many Editorial Calendars as they like: To edit the name of an Editorial Calendar, click on the pencil icon to the right of the dropdown. And click on the X icon to delete an Editorial Calendar.

Export an Editorial Calendar to a CSV file by clicking on the export icon at the bottom of the table:

Editorial Calendar FAQs:

Can I copy a keyword straight from a Keyword List to an Editorial Calendar?

No, not yet. But this is a workflow that we are looking to improve.

I am trying to copy a large amount of data into an Editorial Calendar, but I can’t paste it in properly. What is the problem?

Do you have the necessary number of rows and columns created within the tool? If not, then there won’t be enough space to contain the copied data. You should first create the necessary fields within the table.

Can I connect Editorial Calendar to Optimize or another toolset like Content Analytics?

Not yet, but this is something that we are working on.

Can I assign or tag individuals to certain projects?

Not yet, but this is something that we are working on.
