# Episodes, calendar & approvals

> See what's coming, approve episodes, change their ideas, reschedule them, follow what was published and teach the series new sources.

Open a series to manage it. Each series has five tabs — **Episodes**, **Calendar**, **History**, **Sources** and **Settings** — plus **Pause / Resume** and a **⋯** menu at the top.

## Episodes

![Planned episodes of a series grouped by Tomorrow and This week](https://mintcdn.com/crealix/IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO/images/app/v2/ap-episodes.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO\&q=85\&s=18c21214d76c061d1b26b37a58b521ba)

① The five tabs · ② Resume (or Pause) and more · ③ Episode title and idea · ④ Date, music, voice and background picked for it · ⑤ Status and actions

The **Episodes** tab lists what's coming, grouped by *Tomorrow*, *This week* and later. Each row shows the episode's title and one-line idea, its date and time, and the music, voice and background the AI picked for it from your pools.

### Episode statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Planned** | The idea is ready and the episode waits for its production time. |
| **Queued** | Its production time has come and it's about to start. |
| **Producing** | Crealix is writing, voicing and generating it. |
| **Needs approval** | Produced and waiting for you (series with approvals). |
| **Rendering** | Approved (or automatic) and being exported. |
| **Scheduled** | Rendered and waiting for its publishing slot. |
| **Publishing** | Being uploaded to your accounts. |
| **Published** / **Partly published** | Posted to all (or some) of the selected accounts. |
| **Delivered by email** | Sent to you as a link, for series that deliver by email. |
| **On hold** / **Skipped** | You held or skipped this episode. |
| **Failed** / **Publish failed** | Something went wrong. Credits for failed work are refunded; use **Retry** or **Republish**. |

### Episode actions

![Episode menu with Episode, Produce now, Reschedule, Regenerate idea, Duplicate, Skip and Delete](https://mintcdn.com/crealix/IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO/images/app/v2/ap-episode-menu.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO\&q=85\&s=98755ee6481f3176319b40e659dfad9d)

The ⋯ menu of a planned episode

Open the **⋯** menu on any episode. What you see depends on where the episode is:

* **Episode** — open it to read or edit its idea and brief.
* **Produce now** — make it immediately instead of waiting; the cost is on the button.
* **Reschedule**, **Regenerate idea**, **Duplicate**, **Skip** or **Delete**.

A paused series shows a reminder at the bottom: resume it first — a paused series never renders or publishes.

> **Before it's produced**
>
> * **Regenerate idea** — write a new idea for this slot (useful after you change the brief).
> * Edit the episode's **title** and **brief** — the writer follows the brief, not the title.
> * **Produce now** — don't wait for the slot. The cost is shown on the button.
> * **Skip** — it leaves the queue and is never produced; the slot goes to the next idea and nothing is charged.
> * **Reschedule**, **Hold**, **Duplicate** or **Delete**.

> **After it's produced**
>
> * **Review** — watch it and decide.
> * **Approve & render** — renders it now and schedules it for its slot.
> * **Open in editor** — change anything before it goes out.
> * **Publish now** — don't wait for the slot.

> **If something went wrong**
>
> * **Retry** — starts over from the same idea; the failed attempt is not charged twice.
> * **Republish** — sends the finished video again, only to the channels that failed.
> * **Put back in queue** — return it to the schedule.
> * **Dismiss** — clear the alert.

## Approvals

If the series uses **I approve each episode**, Crealix writes, voices and illustrates each episode (that generation is paid when the episode is produced) and **emails you a preview**. Rendering and publishing only happen once you approve, so you never pay to render something you didn't want.

When episodes are waiting, the series shows a banner such as *"2 episodes are waiting for your approval"*. Click **Review**, watch the episode, then **Approve & render** — or **Regenerate**, **Hold** or **Skip** it. Approve before the deadline shown (*Approve before …*), or the slot is missed.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you don't have enough credits to render an approved episode, Crealix tells you how many you need. Top up and approve again — the episode waits for you.

## Calendar

![The Autopilot calendar for October with published and planned episodes](https://mintcdn.com/crealix/IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO/images/app/v2/ap-calendar.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO\&q=85\&s=db5b1432676a13a696c6d3a2fa3a6e87)

① Month and Today · ② Filters · ③ Month or week view · ④ A published episode · ⑤ A planned episode

The **Calendar** tab shows every episode by **month** or **week**. Published episodes show their cover; planned ones are outlined. Filter by *All*, *Planned*, *Producing*, *Published* or *Needs attention*, and **drag an episode to another day** to pin it there.

## History

![The History tab with published episodes](https://mintcdn.com/crealix/IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO/images/app/v2/ap-history.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO\&q=85\&s=7696b6bd1bc569abcff00d4a24f76af1)

① Filters · ② Title, date and credits · ③ Open the post on the network · ④ Status · ⑤ Watch, share, download, edit · ⑥ Republish

**History** is the log of everything the series produced: each episode's status and the credits it used, with **Open post** on the network, shortcuts to watch, share, download or open it in the editor, and **Republish**. Filter by *Published*, *Failed* or *Skipped*.

## Sources

![The Sources tab: what Autopilot knows and Plan more](https://mintcdn.com/crealix/IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO/images/app/v2/ap-sources.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=IIEx-_yGxePyiqyO\&q=85\&s=ac9ac712cc04f05fb1f9ac3cca7ea7ec)

① Refresh from sources / Add a source · ② Your own episode ideas · ③ A rule · ④ Steer the next ideas · ⑤ Generate 5 ideas

**Sources** is where you teach Autopilot what to talk about once the series is running:

* **Brief** — at the top; click **Edit** to change the creative direction.
* **What Autopilot knows** — your idea lists, pages to read and rules. **Add a source** to add more, **Refresh from sources** to re-read pages, or the bin to remove one.
* **Plan more** — optionally type a direction (*"Ideas about lighthouses this week…"*) and click **Generate 5 ideas** to add a batch to the queue right away. Leave it empty and the planner follows the brief.

Changes to the brief apply to episodes planned from then on. Episodes already planned keep their idea — open one and use **Regenerate idea** to apply the new brief.

## Pausing a series

Click **Pause** (or the pause button on the series card). While paused, nothing is produced or published. When you **Resume**, the series continues from the next slot — missed slots are not backfilled.
