Status shows the state of a scheduled media file in relation on Planly. Schedules can be in the draft, published, or scheduled status.
Draft is a schedule status of a media file that is uploaded, added description, but not scheduled for a set time in the calendar. You can view the draft media in Calendar > Draft tabs, in the list of Calendar > Drafts tab, and directly in the calendar view. The draft posts are not included to your scheduling limit.
Scheduled is a post status when a media file is scheduled for a specified date and time to specified social channels. You can edit the time and description of a scheduled post. Once a post is scheduled you can no longer change the social channels you set before.
Published. A scheduled post is called published once it is shared from Planly to the set social channel. If a post is seen as published it can no longer be edited or deleted from the calendar. Even if you delete a post that was scheduled from Planly, it will be still visible in your Team calendar.
Post schedule limit is the maximum number of posts you are allowed to schedule per social channel during a billing period. Your limit is defined by the number of posts you scheduled + published this month, not the media you upload.
Calendar is an interactive calendar that you can schedule your posts via drag and dropping from desktop, Media Library, uploading from desktop, and importing from Google Drive. It also acts as a social media calendar where you can view your scheduled and published posts, and draft media. You can set the calendar to weekly or monthly views.
You can set a temporary time zone for your Team calendar. Once the page is refreshed, you will go back to the default time zone you set in the Settings.
