What is in this workbook?
This workbook has three sheets: Social Publishing Dashboard, Social Publishing Queue, and Setup. Social Publishing Dashboard is the quick-review surface, Social Publishing Queue is the editable working log, and Setup holds supporting inputs, reusable context, or working rules.
How the workflow and formulas work
Use Social Publishing Queue for each post, platform, format, audience, owner, copy and creative readiness, approval state, publish date, and CTA; use Setup for channel mix, approval ownership, and publishing rules. Social Publishing Queue calculates publishing readiness in column K from copy approval, creative readiness, publishing status, publish date, and CTA fields. Social Publishing Dashboard counts queued posts, Ready rows, copy still awaiting approval, and creative still awaiting readiness.
How to use it in Griddy
Replace the sample values before sharing, then review the calculated Social Publishing Dashboard fields after editing the working log. The workbook includes a dropdown validation resource and a conditional-formatting resource for the relevant review or status fields.
Keep sensitive records out of the workbook
Replace every sample and confirm platform requirements. Do not store customer contact data, credentials, private messages, audience exports, or unapproved claims. This workbook is a planning aid and does not replace accounting, legal, HR, tax, or education-record systems.
