When planning a Linku2 Feature things to keep in mind –
Choose your posts (or get from client input)

Shares should be scattered over the time period so add into sharing schedule by adding date next to the group – then the person who does the share can add their initials once the share is complete.
Use your –
Once prepared share the calendar and sharing schedule to those who are going to share with you.
