Public Shared Calendar View

When someone opens a shared calendar link, they see a public, read-only calendar — no SoSocial account or login required. This makes it easy for clients, managers, or collaborators to review your content plan from any browser.

Accessing the Shared Calendar

The recipient simply opens the shared link in their browser. What happens next depends on the link’s settings:

• No password — the calendar loads immediately with the filtered content visible.
• Password-protected — a password prompt appears first. The viewer enters the password you provided, and the calendar loads after successful verification.

Browsing the Calendar

The public calendar displays posts in a month view by default. Viewers can navigate between months using the arrow buttons to browse past and upcoming content. Each post card shows:

• Caption preview
• Attached media thumbnails
• Target platform
• Scheduled date and time
• Current status

The view is filtered based on the settings you configured when creating the link — only the platforms, statuses, and date ranges you selected are visible.

Approval Workflow

If Allow Approval was enabled when creating the shared link, reviewers gain interactive capabilities on each post:

• Approve — marks the post as approved, signaling it’s ready to publish.
• Reject — marks the post as rejected, indicating it shouldn’t go out as-is.
• Request Changes — flags the post for revision with optional comments about what needs to change.

These actions update the post’s approval status in SoSocial, so your team can see the reviewer’s feedback on the Posts page and in the composer.

What Reviewers Can’t Do

The shared calendar is designed for review, not editing. Reviewers cannot:

• Edit post content, captions, or media.
• Change scheduled dates or times.
• Delete posts.
• Access any other part of SoSocial.

This keeps your content safe while still enabling meaningful external collaboration.

Best Practices

• Share with clear instructions — let reviewers know what you expect (e.g., “Please approve or request changes on all posts for next week by Friday”).
• Use password protection for client-facing links to maintain confidentiality.
• Set an expiry date so old links don’t remain accessible indefinitely.
