Content Calendar Excel Template Main Features
Basically, our spreadsheet has two pillars to track your content development and publishing plan. These are inputs and outputs.
Inputs:
Settings:
Firstly, you need to define the content types, stages, and editors that you are working with. You can specify the Calendar Year from this section. After that, the template will update the calendar sheet ( days and months ) according to your calendar year selection.
Schedule Standard Task:
This section will help you define repeating tasks and assign them to a specific editor. You can select the content type and the responsible person (optional) from the dropdown button. The available input for both cases will be based on your previous selection in the settings sheet. The table will allow you to set the repetition frequency of each task whether monthly or weekly.
Besides that, you can also set a custom duration per task. In that way, you can determine the start and end date of each task and set the expected total working days. Please enter the “X” sign manually to set the days the editor will work on that specific task.
The scheduler allows you to create up to 100 different schedules.
Add Custom Task:
You can set personal targets or tasks for each editor in this section. In addition, you can input target keywords to be used in the campaign and track the current stage of the specific ongoing tasks.
This section can be used as a reminder as well via using the current stage column actively.
Outputs:
Once you finished filling in the necessary information in the input areas of the content calendar template, you will be able to move forward with the output sections to see and check all the schedules, summary charts, task lists, etc.
Calendar:
This calendar view will be the most useful one if you would like to track your overall monthly schedule. You will be able to simultaneously view the responsible editor, task name, and the status of the work in the calendar.
Note that, you can view up to 3 tasks per day in the calendar view.
You can filter the calendar according to month, editor name, and task source separately by using dropdown buttons on the top. Task source options, in this case, would be the automatic Schedule and the individual Tasks or both.
Summary:
In this Content Calendar Template summary section, there are three available charts which are Monthly Tasks Number, Tasks by Channel, and Tasks by Editor. You can filter the charts based on the month, editor, and task source.
Tasks List View:
This list is for getting a broad picture of all previously defined tasks ( custom and schedule ). You can also filter it by month selection. Besides, each column has its own sorting and filter options as well. Please do not try to change anything on this list. It’s an informative summary list showing the tasks you have created before.
Never miss a deadline, track PPC campaigns, advertising and editing tasks, and stay on top of article writing, ensuring successful content promotion and publication.

Thanks and another questions:
Does it automatically create the months in the year?

Hi again, you do not have to change anything on the Calendar sheet as the calendar is totally dynamic. Just select your desired year/month from the Calendar filters (dropdowns) and the template will adjust output automatically.
