Calendar & queue: social media scheduling tool
The two planning parts of a scheduler: the calendar that shows the plan to people, and the queue that holds posts until their time.

Calendar & queue: overview
The calendar and the queue answer different questions. The calendar answers 'what is going out, and when?' for a person reading the plan. The queue answers 'what is next?' for the software doing the publishing. Some products show both, some fold them together, and the two words are used loosely across the category. Knowing which one you are looking at prevents a common planning mistake: assuming a post is scheduled because it appears on a grid.
A useful calendar shows status as well as dates, so drafts and approved posts do not look alike. A useful queue shows each platform a post is headed to. Linkme's page shows both for Link AI: trend ideas being added to a calendar, and a Publishing Queue that carries one post to five platforms. The entries in this hub cover the calendar view and queue versus calendar.
