At PLANOLY, we want to help you take your content strategy to new heights by providing an all-encompassing social media project management tool. Our latest PLANOLY feature makes it easier than ever for you to look ahead at upcoming holidays, add notes to your calendar, color-code forthcoming events, and create custom content themes to schedule your content.

With the new PLANOLY Social Calendar ‘Notes’ feature, you can create custom notes on the PLANOLY mobile and desktop calendar to keep track of upcoming content throughout the week. You can utilize the ‘Notes’ feature to create color-coded content series or events for your audience or add notes for other team members. With the PLANOLY Social Calendar, you can stay up-to-date with monthly social media holidays, upcoming events for your brand or business, and streamline all your social media notes!

Let’s take a look at how you can add notes on the calendar both on PLANOLY desktop web and mobile!

PLANOLY Pro Tip: Separate ‘Notes’ can be added for Instagram Stories, Grid, and Pinterest content. They are making it easy for you to keep track of what’s going live!

How to Use ‘Notes’ On PLANOLY for Desktop

Accessing notes on PLANOLY desktop is easier than pie, you can follow the simple steps below to start adding your notes:

Go to your PLANOLY WEB dashboard
Under the Plan View, click on Add Note on the top right corner
You’ll see a new Calendar Note window pop up
Here you can create a note!
Add your Title (50 characters), Description (1,000 characters), and select the Date + Color-Code
Click SAVE to save that Note
You can also Delete or Edit a note by clicking onto that Note and making edits if needed!

For Example: As an influencer, I love creating content themes for my audience to enjoy throughout the week. ‘Notes’ makes it easy for me to use a color for specific themes, and drop in anything that I want to be mindful of or remember when promoting that specific content. In the example above, I created a Friday Favorites Series Note for a post that I want to go live every Friday on Instagram. I added in my title: Friday Favorites Series, a note description, and chose the first Friday in May to start the series along with a color code of yellow so that I can easily spot it on the social calendar. This makes it easy for me to keep track of upcoming content, and make sure I don’t forget what I need to post!

PLANOLY Pro Tip: Use the color swatch on ‘Notes’ to color-code your content and make it even easier to find a specific note!

How to Use ‘Notes’ On PLANOLY for Mobile Devices
