Within your post creator, you can schedule posts to publish at a date and time of your choice. This feature is great if you’re taking time off or are searching for ways to manage the workload of a content creator.
Tip: Set one day of the week where you schedule your posts for the upcoming week. You can type everything out, upload all of your images, and schedule it for later, freeing up the rest of your week.
