Need to re-create a brand new Smart Schedule from scratch? With the Generate New Smart Schedule tool, we'll generate new optimized time slots for you to determine when your audience is most likely to be engaged.
Learn more about our Optimized time slot Data in our Knowledge Base article, "How are Recommended time slots created?"
Step 1: Unlock Pins You Want to be Shifted
Locked Pins will not be moved if you generate a new SmartSchedule. So, if you want a Pin to remain in its current time slot, be sure to lock it. Unlocked Pins will be shifted into the new time slots if you check the option to do so.
Why are my pins locked? When you schedule Pins with an interval (like daily or weekly), they’re automatically locked to stick to that schedule. If you unlock them and shuffle the Pins, they won’t follow the original interval anymore. Warning: Unlocking interval Pins will break their scheduled interval, which could result in them being published on the same day or more frequently than planned.
To Unlock or Lock Pins:
Go to your Pin Scheduler
Hover over the Pin you want to lock or unlock and click the lock icon in the upper-right corner of the Pin
OR hover over the settings wheel to bulk 'Lock All' or 'Unlock All'
Step 2: Generate a New SmartSchedule
Visit 'Settings' > 'Account Settings' > 'SmartSchedule'
Select 'Generate new SmartSchedule'
Enter your desired number of daily time slots
If you want to fill your new schedule with existing Pins, click 'Shift scheduled Pins into new time slots'
Please note: Leaving this box unchecked will generate new time slots in addition to your already existing Pins. The existing Pins will then become "Custom time slots"
Select 'Save Changes'
Congratulations! Now you're ready to start using your new Tailwind SmartSchedule
