A shared content calendar beats a PDF export every time, because it's never out of date. Instead of rebuilding a deck each week, you send your client one link to a live calendar that updates as you plan, and you decide per client whether that link can approve posts or just watch.

## How to share your content calendar

Sharing takes one modal, and the link you copy at the end is the whole delivery.

### 1. Open the client's month calendar

Go to **[Calendar > Month](https://app.pallyy.com/dashboard/scheduling/calendar/month)** for the client you want to share with. The month view is where the sharing controls live, and it's also the view your client will see.

### 2. Choose Share from the calendar menu

Click the three dot menu in the calendar header and choose **Share**. This opens the **Shared Calendar** modal, which holds every setting for this client's link.

### 3. Turn on Enabled

Switch on **Enabled** at the top of the modal. This activates the shared calendar and generates the link you'll send.

### 4. Set the visibility and approval toggles

Decide what this client can see and do with toggles like **Read-only** or **Allow post approval**. Each client's calendar has its own settings, so you can be generous with one and strict with another.

### 5. Save and send the link

Click **Save**, copy the link, and send it to your client to bookmark. Their calendar lives at its own Pallyy subdomain, so the client gets a clean link rather than a login to remember.

## Decide what each client can see and do

Every shared calendar has its own settings, so two clients can get completely different experiences from the same feature:

- **Read-only** makes the calendar view only, right for stakeholders who should watch but not touch.
- **Allow post approval** lets the client approve posts from the calendar, feeding the [approvals](/help/approvals) workflow.
- **Schedule post on approval** schedules an approved draft in the same moment, no extra step for you.
- **Show draft posts**, **Show scheduled posts**, and **Show notes on calendar** control which content appears.
- **Show intro help guide** gives first-time viewers a quick walkthrough.

The settings are per calendar, so a hands-on client can get approval powers while another gets a read-only view, and neither knows the difference.

## Keep your working mess out of view

A shared calendar shows the client a curated view, not your whole workspace. Turn off **Show draft posts** to hide work in progress, leave planning notes off the calendar with **Show notes on calendar**, and keep internal discussion hidden with the **Internal only** toggle on comments. The client sees a tidy plan; your team keeps its margins.

## Put the calendar on your own domain

Client-facing calendars can live on your domain instead of a Pallyy subdomain. Connect a [custom domain](/help/custom-domains) and every calendar link you send carries your brand, which reads a lot better in a client's bookmarks bar.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does my client need a Pallyy account to view the calendar?

No. The shared calendar opens in any browser from its link, with no account, login, or install. Send the link once and your client can check the plan whenever they like.

### Can different clients have different calendar permissions?

Yes. Every social set's shared calendar has its own settings, so one client can approve posts while another has a read-only view. Nothing you set for one client affects another.

### Can my client see my drafts and internal notes?

Only if you let them. **Show draft posts** and **Show notes on calendar** are toggles, and comments marked **Internal only** never appear on the shared calendar at all.

### Can I turn a shared calendar off?

Yes, switch off **Enabled** in the Shared Calendar modal and the link stops working. Turn it back on any time and sharing resumes.
