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.

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.
