How to See Scheduled Posts on Pinterest

Scheduling your Pinterest Pins is a game-changing move for your content strategy, but finding them after you've set them to publish can be surprisingly confusing. You know they're queued up somewhere, waiting to go live, but where exactly? This guide will show you precisely where to find and manage your scheduled posts directly on Pinterest and explain why using a dedicated visual calendar can make the entire process much smoother.

First, Why Schedule Pins at All?

Before we get into the "how," it's worth touching on the "why." If you're manually pinning in real-time, you're likely leaving engagement and growth on the table. Scheduling is more than just a convenience, it's a core strategy for building a serious brand presence on Pinterest. Creating content in focused blocks of time, or "batching," is one of the most effective ways to stay consistent without succumbing to burnout. You can dedicate one afternoon to creating and scheduling a full week or two of Pins, freeing you up to focus on other parts of your business.

Consistency is everything on a platform like Pinterest. Regularly publishing fresh, high-quality Pins signals to the algorithm that your account is active and valuable, which can lead to better distribution and reach. By scheduling your Pins, you ensure a steady stream of content hits your audience's feeds, even when you're offline or working on something else. This also allows you to target peak traffic times for your specific audience. You can schedule a Pin to publish right when your followers are most active, maximizing its initial visibility and chance to go viral, instead of just posting whenever you happen to have a spare minute.

Locating Your Scheduled Pins Directly on Pinterest

Finding your queue of scheduled Pins within Pinterest's native tools can feel like a treasure hunt if you don't know the exact map. Thankfully, once you know the right clicks, it becomes straightforward. Here's how to do it on a desktop, as the mobile app functionality for managing scheduled content is extremely limited.

The Step-by-Step Guide for Desktop

Pinterest has updated its interface over time, but the most reliable way to find your future posts is by heading directly to your profile page. Follow these steps:

1. Log In to Your Pinterest Business Account: First, make sure you’re logged into the correct account. These features are primarily built for Business accounts, not personal ones.
2. Navigate to Your Profile: In the top-right corner of your screen, click on your profile picture. This will take you to your main profile page where your boards are displayed.
3. Click the 'Created' Tab: Below your profile biography and follower counts, you'll see a navigation menu with options like "Created," "Saved," etc. Click on "Created" to see all the Pins you've personally uploaded.
4. Find Your Scheduled Pins: This is where it can get tricky, as the exact location seems to vary slightly for different users. You will typically find your scheduled Pins in one of two places:
   • As a Pin Board: Look at your boards directly on your profile. Pinterest often automatically creates a private board named "Your scheduled Pins" which houses everything you have queued. This board will *only be visible to you*. It won't have a cover image and is usually placed at the top of your boards list.
   • In a Separate Queue View: On the "Created" tab, look for a small section or button that specifically says "Scheduled Pins." Clicking this will take you to a dedicated list view of everything you've scheduled, organized by date.

If you check both places and still can't find them, try the back-up route: returning to the Pin Scheduler itself. Go to "Create" > "Create Pin" and look for a banner or button at the top of the screen that says "See scheduled Pins." Clicking this should take you to the same queue view.

Managing Your Scheduled Pins: Edit, Reschedule, or Delete

Once you’ve found your list of scheduled Pins, managing them is simple. You have three main options for any Pin in your queue:

• To Edit: Click the pencil icon on the scheduled Pin you want to change. This will re-open the Pin editor, allowing you to tweak the title, description, link, or even the board it's scheduled to. Hit "Save" when you're done.
• To Reschedule: In the same Pin editor, you'll see the "Publish at a later date" option is already selected. You can simply choose a new date and time from the calendar and clock dropdowns.
• To Delete: If you've changed your mind about a Pin entirely, find it in your scheduled list and click the trash can icon. Pinterest will ask you to confirm, and once you do, the scheduled Pin will be gone for good. You can’t undo this, so be sure before you click!

Can You See Scheduled Pins on the Pinterest Mobile App?

This is a common source of frustration for many creators. As of now, the Pinterest mobile app has very limited - or more often, no - functionality for viewing or managing Pins scheduled natively. The scheduler is designed as a desktop tool. This means if you schedule a campaign and then notice a typo while you're away from your computer, you either have to wait until you can get back to your desktop or cancel your plans to fix it. This limitation is one of the main reasons creators turn to more flexible, third-party management tools.

Common Frustrations with the Native Pinterest Scheduler

While Pinterest's free built-in scheduler is a decent starting point, it doesn't take long to run into its limitations, especially if you're managing a growing brand.

No Unified Content Calendar

The biggest challenge is that Pinterest exists in a bubble. Your scheduled Pins live in a simple list, completely disconnected from your content strategy on other platforms. You can't see how your Pin for a new blog post on Tuesday lines up with your Instagram Reel about the same topic on Wednesday. Managing a cohesive, cross-platform campaign requires you to constantly switch between different browser tabs, spreadsheets, and calendar apps just to get a full picture. It’s disjointed and makes spotting strategic gaps or overlaps almost impossible.

It's Hard to Visualize Your Schedule

A simple list of future Pins sorted by date doesn't give you a true sense of your content cadence. Did you accidentally schedule five Pins for Monday and none for the rest of the week? A list view makes it hard to see that at a glance. Visualizing an entire week or month's worth of content is fundamental to good social media strategy, and the native Pinterest tool just doesn't offer that bird's-eye perspective.

Making Changes is Clunky

Need to move that Pin from Tuesday to Friday? You’ll have to click in, edit, manually select a new date and time from a dropdown menu, and save. Now imagine you need to reschedule an entire week of content. This tedious, one-by-one process consumes time that could be better spent on creating awesome content. There are no drag-and-drop features or bulk actions to make your workflow efficient.

A Better Way: Using a Visual Calendar to Manage Your Pins

True content management goes beyond a simple queue. This is where dedicated social media management platforms come in, transforming a chaotic process into an organized, visual workflow. The core advantage is the visual calendar.

Imagine seeing your entire monthly content plan laid out in a single, color-coded calendar. Your Pinterest Pins, Instagram Stories, TikTok videos, and Facebook posts all live together. Suddenly, you can see your entire brand story unfolding over time. You can instantly spot gaps in your schedule and see where different pieces of content complement each other.

This approach makes rescheduling a refreshingly simple task. A great tool lets you drag and drop a post from one day to another, rescheduling it in seconds. If you have a successful Pin, you can duplicate it and schedule it for a future date without rebuilding it from scratch. This level of flexibility and control is something a native scheduler simply can't offer.

Furthermore, these tools are built for modern, multi-platform creators. They're designed to handle everything from static Idea Pins to short-form video, all from one dashboard. You can upload your assets once and schedule them everywhere, customizing captions for each platform. And critically, they almost always come with a fully functional mobile app, so you can manage your entire content strategy from anywhere, not just when you're tethered to a desk.

Final Thoughts

Finding your scheduled Pins on Pinterest is easy once you know to look in your profile's "Created" tab for that special queue or board. While the native scheduler works, its limitations in visualization, holistic planning, and flexibility quickly become apparent for anyone serious about growing their brand on social media.
