Posting schedule & slots
A post type posts on a weekly pattern of days and times; PostYard allocates each new post the next free slot automatically.
Where: Post types → (open the post type) → Automation
Set which days of the week and which times of day the post type is allowed to post. PostYard turns that into a stream of candidate posting moments and, whenever a new post is created, hands it the first slot that no other live post on the same account already claims — so a batch of several posts spreads across the week automatically rather than piling onto one moment.
A post's planned time is a suggestion until it's approved — you can drag it to a different day or hour on the Calendar, or pick an exact time on the post's own page, and PostYard will refuse a time that collides with another post already sitting in that slot.
