Categories Select the categories which you want to display in the content Calendar. You can select 1 category or multiple categories. Don't select any category will show all articles.
Date Field PRO version only Choose which date decides where an article appears in the calendar: Start Publishing (the publication date, the default), Featured Up (the date an article becomes featured, so only featured articles are shown) or Custom Field (a calendar field you created yourself). Dragging an article to another day writes the new date back to the field you pick here, and the add-article button pre-fills that same field.
Custom Date Field PRO version only When you choose "Custom Field" above, select the calendar custom field that holds the date. Only articles that have a value in that field are shown.
Open articles in PRO version only Choose whether clicking an article opens it in the current window or in a new browser tab. This applies to the add-article button as well.
