Moving and rescheduling

Change when a post publishes — drag on the calendar, flip status on the kanban, or call the reschedule API.

You can change when a post publishes without reopening the composer. Drag a chip on the calendar for draft and scheduled posts, use the Home kanban to flip status at the same time, or call the reschedule API when you automate at scale.

Drag on the calendar

Where: /account/calendar in Day, Week, or Month view (not List view).

Click and hold a single-post chip — the grip icon appears on draggable rows.
Drop on a future day or time slot.
OpenQuok saves the new time and shows Post rescheduled.

Tip

List view has no drop targets — switch back to day, week, or month to drag. Use list mode with the date range picker when you need to find a post far in the past or future, then open it from the row. See List view.

What you can drag

Post state	Draggable?
Draft	Yes — stays a draft at the new time
Scheduled	Yes — moves the queue time
Published	Yes — but see the dialog below
Failed	No — fix the error in the editor first
Multi-channel (+N) chip	No — open Posts in this slot and work on one row at a time
List view row	No — switch to the calendar grid

Where you can drop

Target	Time applied
Day or Week grid cell	Snaps to 30-minute increments; must be at least five minutes from now
Month day cell	Keeps the same clock time as the source post on the new day
Date passed striped cells	Blocked — same rule as creating in the past
List view	No drop targets

Valid drop zones highlight with a ring while you drag.

Published and past-scheduled posts

When you drop a Published chip, or a Scheduled chip whose time is already in the past, OpenQuok asks before saving:

Title: Reschedule published post?

Button	Effect
Just update the post details	Updates the stored publish time only — rows keep their current state
Reschedule the post	Re-queues publishing at the new time and clears provider release ids so OpenQuok can publish again

Draft and future scheduled moves skip this dialog — the new time applies immediately with schedule semantics.

Warning

Programmatic clients must pass action and republish explicitly for published groups — the API returns 400 if you try to re-queue without republish. See Reschedule post.

Recurring posts

Drag chips with the refresh icon like any other single-post row. The rules below apply to that post group — not one projected chip in isolation.

On the calendar, multiple chips are projections of one anchor time. Moving any chip shifts every occurrence for that group. How repeats look on the grid vs Home is covered in Recurring posts on the calendar and Recurring posts on the kanban.

Warning

When you drop a published or past-scheduled recurring post, the reschedule dialog adds: This is a recurring post: your changes apply to all future recurrences starting now.

While, draft and future scheduled recurring moves use the same anchor rule without the dialog. For example, If you move one post to the next two days, the relevant recurring post move to the next two days from those reduring post whose existing scheduling times too

Note

After an occurrence publishes, OpenQuok creates a new scheduled group for the next slot. Rescheduling the published row affects that group only — open the upcoming group separately if you need to change what ships next.

To cancel what is still queued or change cadence, see Stop the rest of a series and Repeating a post.

Kanban moves (same time)

The Home kanban answers status, not slot — see Kanban board for columns, filters, and card signals.

Drag	Result
Drafted posts → Scheduled posts	Promotes to scheduled at the existing publish time
Scheduled posts → Drafted posts	Pauses publishing — time is preserved
Draft or Scheduled → Published posts	Publish now after you confirm

Tip

Published cards do not drag backward. For a new hour or day, use the calendar or the reschedule API below.

Programmatic reschedule

Use reschedule when agents, scripts, or integrations move many posts at once. Pass any post row id from posts:list — the whole post group moves together.

Reschedule a draft or scheduled post to a new time:

openquok posts:reschedule <post-id> -s "2026-06-15T14:30:00.000Z"

Re-publish a published group at a new future time:

openquok posts:reschedule <post-id> -s "2026-06-20T10:00:00.000Z" --action schedule --republish

Flag	Role
-s --scheduledAt	New publish time (ISO-8601, required)
--action	`update` (default) — time only, preserve state · `schedule` — re-queue and clear release ids
--republish	Required with `schedule` when any row is already published
