Understanding Statusbrew Planner
Statusbrew’s Planner allows you to get a bird's-eye view of all your social media scheduling activity. With your Statusbrew Planner, you can easily view and manage the content you have scheduled over the next day, week, or month.
Statusbrew not only keeps a record of all posts sent through the platform but also pulls in posts published outside of Statusbrew.
Click on Publish to access Statusbrew Planner from your Statusbrew dashboard.
