What is the Content Board?

The content board is a kaban-like visual tool that helps you plan, organize and manage all your website content per status, offering a useful overview of your current workflow.

Features

The content board includes ideas (i.e. unscheduled content), drafts, pending, scheduled and published content, as well as private content.

You can drag-and-drop any item in the board to change its status or click on them to open a quick editor modal.

You can add new content by clicking on the Add new content button.

With the date range selector you can change the date range to display content in the board.

With the filter panel you can select which elements should be visible in the content board. You can filter by author, content type and/or post status. Note that when there are active filters, the color of this button will be different.

You can also click on the More Options three dots button for some additional options like, for example, print the board, clearing all your active filters or more help.

By selecting Print Dashboard, you will be able to choose the printer along with other settings to print your table of contents.

Benefits

The content board offers several benefits, including:

• Improved organization: it provides a clear, visual structure for managing ideas, posts in progress, deadlines, and publishing schedules. This reduces the risk of missing key dates or losing track of content in the pipeline.
• Better planing and consistency: it helps create a consistent content strategy by allowing you to plan ahead. You can see a full overview of your upcoming posts, ensuring you maintain regular publishing and avoid gaps.
• Time management: By tracking each stage of content creation (from idea to publishing), it helps you manage your time effectively. You can set realistic deadlines and monitor your progress toward them.
• Increased focus on goals: it lets you align your content with larger goals like marketing objectives, audience engagement, or SEO targets. It ensures each piece of content contributes to the overall purpose of the blog.
• Better visibility of content gaps and opportunities: It allows you to easily spot gaps in your content, such as under-represented topics or seasonal opportunities, so you can proactively fill them.
• Improved content quality: With a well-structured process, there’s more time for reviewing and improving content. It also helps you keep track of feedback or revisions, leading to higher quality output.

By using a content board, you can streamline the publishing process and ensure that your blog runs more smoothly and efficiently.,
