Content planningStep-by-step guide
Import an existing content calendar
Bring a prepared plan into Showwork and correct ambiguous entries before saving.
Plan and edit content permission.
Here’s how to do it
Open Content and select Import calendar.
Choose Browse files and select PDF, CSV, Excel, Word, TXT or HTML. The current importer accepts files up to 3 MB and up to 200 items. Wait for Showwork to open the file.
Review Import preferences: timezone, numeric date order, missing year, default time, default platform and time notation.
Check Column mappings. Keep useful custom fields and ignore columns that should not become content.
Review the content preview. Resolve entries needing attention, inspect duplicates, and select the posts to keep.
Select Import and wait for confirmation, then choose Go to calendar.
What happens next
Only the selected, validated entries are added to the calendar.
If something isn’t working
- Do not guess ambiguous dates: set the date order or correct the preview.
- If confirmation fails, use Retry confirmation where offered and inspect the calendar before importing again.
