# Schedules

> A schedule card is a real calendar living on your canvas. It has month, week, day and hour views, you can break a day down into hours and an hour into minutes, and you can drop any card into a time slot. The grid itself is read-only — all editing happens in the peek panel that opens when you click a slot.

A schedule card is a calendar with real dates, sitting on the canvas next to
everything it refers to. Shooting days beside the location photos; a release
plan beside the assets.

Add one from the rail's **+** menu → *Create* → **Schedule**.

## Views

Four zoom levels of the same schedule:

| View | Shows |
|---|---|
| **Month** | The whole month in a grid |
| **Week** | Seven days side by side |
| **Day** | One day, broken into hours |
| **Hour** | One hour, broken into minutes |

Break a day down into hours, and an hour down into minutes, when a day needs
that resolution. A prep week can sit at month view while the shoot day sits at
hour view in the same board.

**Go to today** returns you to now. The mini-calendar in the header jumps to any
date without scrolling.

## Putting things in it

Drop any card into a slot — a note, an image, a file, a link, a nested cluster.
A schedule holds content, not just text labels, which is what separates it from
a calendar app.

## The peek panel

The calendar grid itself is **read-only**. Clicking a day or an hour opens the
**peek** — a panel where all editing happens.

This is deliberate. A dense calendar grid with inline editing produced constant
mis-clicks: reaching for a slot and accidentally editing the one next to it. All
edits going through the peek means the grid can be scanned and clicked
confidently.

## What a schedule is for

Anything where the cells mean *time*:

- Shoot days and unit moves
- Call sheets, with the location photo attached to the hour
- Delivery and release timelines
- A prep calendar with references attached to the day they are needed

If the cells mean *position* rather than time — a storyboard, a contact sheet,
a comparison — you want a [grid](/docs/canvas/grids).
