8. 8

   8. Press Draft my week.

Drafting takes about a minute, so keep the page open while Buzz writes.

The week comes back as a grid: days down, the accounts you picked across, and a card for each post on each account.

• Untick a card to leave that post out, or untick a day to leave the whole day out.
• Press the add button in an empty cell, such as Add LinkedIn, to put that account on the day's post. It has the same words as the first account until you give it its own.
• Drag a card to another day, or pick the day from its … menu.
• A picture that doesn't fit a platform's shape gets Frame it on that card. Choose what stays and press Use this frame, or skip that platform for the picture.
• A card with a caution mark can't go out as it is, for example Instagram without a picture. Open it to fix it.
• Open a card to edit the post in the composer. The card then shows Edited.
• A day with nothing planned offers to plan that day on its own, for 1 Buzz.

Your last draft comes back when you return, but unticks, moves and frames are lost if you reload the page. Start over, then Start a new week, clears the grid.

1. 1

   1. Tick what you want to go out.

2. 2

   2. Press the approve button. It counts the ticked posts that are ready, such as Approve 5 posts.

Buzzmark schedules each post at its time on the social set's clock, and they land on your Calendar. A post that can't go out stays on its card marked Didn't go out. Point at it to see why.

A contributor on a plan with roles sees Send week for approval instead, and an owner or editor approves the posts from Activity. See Approval and Activity.

Each planned post uses 1 Buzz written for you, counted before Buzz writes, and a post that goes to several accounts on the same day counts once. The note above Draft my week says how many the week uses and how many you have left this month. Unticking a post afterwards doesn't give the Buzz back. Your plan's monthly Buzz are on Plans and usage.

Draft every week, under the page title, has Buzz draft the coming week by itself. It's marked Beta.

1. 1

   1. Set up the page the way you want every week.

2. 2

   2. Switch on Draft every week.

3. 3

   3. Pick the Day and the Time Buzz drafts on, on your social set's clock.

4. 4

   4. Under Repeat, choose Every week or Until a date.

5. 5

   5. Press Save.

At that time Buzz drafts the 7 days after it, on the weekdays you picked, and skips any day that already has a scheduled post. You get a notice in the app, and an email if Your week is drafted is on in Notifications. The week waits on this page for you to approve: nothing is scheduled by itself.

The pictures you add on the page aren't reused in these weeks, so Instagram and TikTok posts arrive asking for one. A drafted week uses Buzz the same way, and is skipped when too few are left. After 2 drafted weeks in a row that nobody used, it pauses and says so.
