7.) Easy-to-Use
Every time you schedule a post, it will show up in the Content Planner app. You will love having your posts in one place and see what you have scheduled.
Hover over a thumbnail to see the time for which the post is scheduled.
What’s great is that you can schedule multiple Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts. This is convenient if you run various Facebook pages.
However, it is important to note that you can only schedule a design or post to one social media account. But you can make a copy of it and schedule it to another account.
That is, you make a design for Twitter, schedule it, make a copy, and resize it to a Facebook post size, for instance. But you need to tweak it, if necessary, before scheduling the design to Facebook.
Failing to Post
This is one of the disadvantages of Canva’s Content Planner. You will receive an email from Canva that a post failed to be shared to say, Facebook. It can happen to multiple posts. But you can just reschedule them so all is not lost.
