How to See Scheduled Pins on Pinterest

Trying to find where your scheduled Pins went on Pinterest can feel like a bit of a scavenger hunt. You spend time creating the perfect content, get it all queued up, and then... it disappears into the platform, leaving you wondering if it’s actually going to post. This guide will show you exactly how to find, view, and manage your scheduled Pins directly on Pinterest, putting you back in control of your content calendar.

Why Scheduling Pins Actually Matters for Your Growth

Before getting into the how-to, it’s worth refreshing on why this is such a non-negotiable strategy for anyone serious about growing on Pinterest. Scheduling isn't just a time-saver, it’s a strategic advantage that unlocks a more polished and effective marketing presence.

  • Unbeatable Consistency: The Pinterest algorithm rewards consistency. When you schedule Pins, you can build a steady stream of fresh content that keeps your account active and visible to your audience, even when you’re busy with other parts of your business. This prevents the classic content drought that happens when life gets in the way.
  • Strategic Batching and Time-Saving: Instead of dropping everything to create and publish a Pin every single day, you can set aside one block of time to create and schedule content for an entire week or month. This workflow is incredibly efficient, freeing up mental space and hours in your calendar.
  • Optimized Posting Times: Your audience isn't active 24/7. Scheduling allows you to publish Pins precisely when your target audience is most likely to be browsing, no matter what time zone they’re in. Your content lands in front of them right when they’re looking for inspiration, maximizing your potential for clicks and saves.

In short, scheduling turns Pinterest from a daily chore into a predictable, growth-driving marketing channel that works for you in the background.

How to See Scheduled Pins on Pinterest (The Official Way)

Pinterest offers a native tool to schedule a limited number of Pins in advance, directly on the platform. Finding where these scheduled Pins are hiding is fairly simple once you know where to look, but the location isn't always intuitive. The process works best on a desktop computer, as mobile functionality can be limited.

Step-by-Step Guide for Desktop Users

If you've scheduled Pins using Pinterest's own scheduler, here is the exact path to find them:

  1. Log In to Your Pinterest Business Account: First, head over to Pinterest.com and make sure you're logged into the correct business account. You won't be able to access scheduling features from a personal account.
  2. Navigate to the Pin Creation Screen: On the top-left menu, click on "Create," then select "Create Pin" from the dropdown menu. This will take you to the standard Pin editor where you'd normally upload a new image or video.
  3. Locate Your Scheduled Pins: This is the part that trips most people up. Look at the left-hand panel of the Pin creation screen. You should see a section displaying the number of Pins you have left to schedule. Directly next to this, you'll see a small button or link that says "See scheduled Pins" or simply "Show."

That's it! Clicking that link will open a new view showing a list of all your scheduled Pins, allowing you to review everything you've queued up before it goes live.

A Note on the Pinterest Mobile App

For creators who are often on the go, it’s important to note a major limitation: viewing or managing scheduled Pins is nearly impossible through the official Pinterest mobile app. The feature is built for the desktop experience. While you can sometimes create and schedule a Pin from your phone, accessing the full list of your entire queue typically requires you to log in via a web browser on a computer. This can be a real headache if you notice a mistake or need to make a quick change while you're away from your desk.

Beyond Just Viewing: How to Manage Your Scheduled Content

Finding your Pins is only half the battle. What if you need to change a publication date, fix a typo in the description, or delete a scheduled Pin altogether? Once you've located your queue using the steps above, managing the content is pretty straightforward.

Editing a Scheduled Pin

Found a mistake in your Pin's copy or want to add a different link? No problem.

  1. Locate the Pin in Your Queue: Go to your scheduled Pins list.
  2. Click the Edit Icon: Hover over the Pin you want to change. You should see a small pencil icon appear. Click it.
  3. Make Your Changes: This will open the Pin editor, where you can modify the title, description, alt text, destination link, and the board it’s scheduled to. You can also adjust the scheduled date and time from here as well.
  4. Save Your Work: Once you're done, remember to click "Save changes."

Important Tip: You can edit almost everything about a scheduled Pin except for the image or video itself. If you uploaded the wrong visual, you'll have to delete the scheduled Pin and start over by creating a new one.

Rescheduling or Deleting a Scheduled Pin

Sometimes your marketing calendar changes, or a piece of content is no longer relevant. In those cases, you'll need to either change the date or remove the Pin entirely.

  • To Reschedule: Follow the editing steps above and simply select a new date and time from the "Publish at a later date" options.
  • To Delete: Hover over the Pin in your scheduled view and look for a trash can icon. Clicking this will prompt you to confirm that you want to permanently delete the scheduled Pin. Be sure, because once it's gone, it's gone.

The Hurdles of Managing Scheduled Pins Natively

While Pinterest’s native scheduler is a good starting point, many business owners, marketers, and content creators quickly run into its limitations. It does the basic job, but it isn't designed for a comprehensive, multi-platform content strategy. Here are a few common frustrations:

  • No True Content Calendar: The native view is just a simple list of Pins. There's no big-picture visual calendar where you can see your week or month at a glance, making it difficult to spot content gaps or visualize your publishing cadence.
  • It's a Silo: Your Pinterest strategy doesn't exist in a vacuum. You’re also managing Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and more. When scheduling natively, Pinterest content is isolated from everything else, forcing you to jump between different platforms and spreadsheets just to get a clear view of your overall marketing plan. This is where chaos begins.
  • Clunky Workflow: Rescheduling is cumbersome. There's no simple drag-and-drop functionality to move posts around. Editing content requires clicking into each Pin individually, which becomes tedious when you manage a high volume of content.
  • You're Chained to Your Desk: As mentioned, the lack of mobile access to your scheduled content queue is a significant drawback for anyone who isn't parked in front of a computer all day.

Why Using a Scheduler is a Pro-Level Move for Pinterest

This is where social media management tools become so valuable. They are built to solve the very problems that native schedulers create. Instead of fighting with a limited interface, you gain a powerful command center for all your social media marketing.

A Unified Visual Calendar

Imagine seeing your Pinterest Pins scheduled right alongside your Instagram Reels, Facebook posts, and YouTube Shorts in one beautiful, color-coded calendar. Suddenly, your entire content strategy makes visual sense. You can drag and drop a post to reschedule it, easily see which days need more content, and plan coordinated campaigns across all platforms without losing your mind in a handful of browser tabs.

A Better Cross-Platform Workflow

Many brands use similar content ideas across platforms. A proper scheduling tool lets you upload your content once and then customize it for each social network. You can write your Pin description with its hashtags, then slightly tweak the caption for Instagram in the same view. This saves a massive amount of time and prevents repetitive work.

Analytics That Tell the Whole Story

Yes, Pinterest has its own analytics. But how are your Pins performing compared to your other channels? A third-party tool consolidates your analytics in one dashboard. This allows you to see what content topics are performing best overall, helping you make smarter decisions about what to create next for all your platforms.

Final Thoughts

Finding your scheduled Pins directly on Pinterest is simple once you know to look inside the Pin creation tool. From there, you can edit, reschedule, or delete queued content to keep your calendar organized. However, growing a brand means thinking beyond just one platform, and the native tool’s biggest weakness is its inability to show you the bigger picture.

Managing that bigger picture is exactly why we built Postbase. We were tired of juggling content across different native schedulers and wanted one clean, visual calendar to see our entire strategy - from Pinterest to TikTok to Instagram - in a single place. With Postbase, you get a bird’s-eye view, drag-and-drop rescheduling, and a reliable system designed for modern visuals like video Pins, all designed to make social media management feel calm and organized instead of chaotic.
