How do I use the Instagram Grid Planner?

You can use the Instagram Grid Planner to visualize your future posts on your Instagram Grid.

This feature is available on Sprout’s Professional and Advanced Plans.

To see the Instagram Grid Planner, navigate to Publishing > Instagram Grid Planner. This view shows sent posts, including Reels, for the past 90 days and any pending, draft or scheduled posts.

FAQs

Why do I see placeholder images for some of my Sent/Published Posts?
Placeholder images typically appear if your post was deleted or your profile was disconnected.

Why are some of my upcoming Reels posts missing?
The Grid Planner ONLY show Reels that have been marked as shared to your profile feed. You can select Share Reel to your profile feed in the Publishing window to ensure they appear in this view.
