The Queue page is a holding area for Content that is finished but is not yet eligible to be sent out inside of the News Digest. In order for the Content to be eligible for News Digests, it must be approved by a Team Member with Approve Content permission.

You can access the Queue page by going to Content > Queue. On the page, you will see your Content in sequential order, starting with the most recent publish start date.

Content Table

On your Queue page, you will see the following columns of information:

Post

This column contains the image and title that will be used to represent the piece of Content, and this is what Subscribers will see inside their News Digest and on the Content Archive page once the Content is approved.

Publish Dates

This column contains the Publish Date, Circulation End Date, and Expiration Date which will be active once Approved.

If you see a green tree and "Never Expires” in this column, this means the Content is Evergreen; therefore, it will never expire unless it is assigned an expiration date.

Please Note: The Content on this page is not eligible for the News Digest until it is approved and it moves to the Approved page, regardless of the dates shown.

Segments

This column contains the name of any Segments targeted or restricted to your pieces of Content inside the Distribution Settings.

Categories

This column contains the Categories that have been assigned to this piece of Content. Categories can be assigned manually or auto generated if the Content is pulled from a Source.

Source

This column will show if the piece of Content was pulled from a source or if it was created manually. If the Content was created manually, this column will be blank, and if it was pulled from a source, you will see the source title listed.

Campaigns

This column lists all Campaigns the Content is currently added to. Content can be added to up to 4 Campaigns.
