Queue scheduling

Queue scheduling is a posting strategy where you define fixed time slots per day and the scheduler automatically fills them from a queue of posts, in order.

Instead of picking a specific date and time for each post, you tell the scheduler 'post three times a day at 9am, 1pm, and 7pm,' then add posts to a queue. The next slot gets the next post. It's the simplest way to maintain a consistent cadence without manually scheduling every piece of content.
