The Content Calendar gives you a powerful overview of your publishing schedule. This screen works as a marketing calendar and an editorial calendar. You can easily see when content is planned, and when it was published. You can also drag-and-drop content to a new publication date. By default, you see all the WordPress content you have planned for the next few weeks. If you need to drill down, you can filter the calendar by post status, categories, users or post types.
The Content Overview screen is a companion to the Calendar screen. Whereas the Calendar allows you to see content organized by dates, Content Overview allows you to drill down and see content organized by status, categories, or users. This content organizer allows to choose any data from WordPress to show in columns. In the top-right corner is a “Print” button. Click this to get a printable overview of all your planned content.
The Content Board screen is a kanban board that you can use to organize your content. The Content Board provides one column for each status. You can drag-and-drop posts to change their status between Draft, Pending Review, Published, Scheduled, and more.
Notifications keep you and your team up to date on changes to important content. Users can be subscribed to notifications for any post, either individually or by selecting user groups. PublishPress Planner allows you to create powerful notification workflows based on post types, categories, status changes and much more.

This PublishPress Planner Pro feature integrates your notifications with Slack. You can send notifications directly to a Slack channel and even reply without logging into WordPress.
