# Editorial plans

A **plan** turns a set of keywords into a scheduled calendar of articles — one
article per page cluster, spread across working days. Plans let you build a whole
content calendar up front and generate the articles on a schedule.

## What plans do

A plan groups article ideas under a project and gives each one a scheduled date.
You can generate items by hand whenever you like, or turn on
[scheduled generation](#scheduled-generation) so an *active* plan produces its
articles automatically on their dates. Items show their status as they move from
planned to generated to published.

## Create a plan manually

1. Go to **Plans → New plan**.
2. Pick a **project**, give the plan a **name**, choose a **type** (14-day,
   30-day, or custom), and set a **start date** (and end date for custom).
3. Create it, then add items by importing keywords or generating them (below).

## Import from CSV

The fastest way to fill a plan is from a keyword export (e.g. SEMrush):

1. From **Plans**, choose **Import CSV** (new plan) — or open an existing plan and
   choose **Import CSV** to add to it.
2. Drop in your CSV (max 10 MB). Terradium **clusters** the keywords into pages
   and previews them — one article per page, each with its keyword count and
   search volume.
3. Pick the project, plan name, type, **start date**, and **language** for the
   whole plan, and whether to **skip weekends**.
4. Create the plan (or add the articles). Items are scheduled one per working day.

## Generate keywords

Don't have a keyword export? Let Terradium discover keywords for you:

1. Open a plan and choose **Generate keywords**.
2. Provide either **seed keywords** (comma- or line-separated) or a **domain**,
   then pick a **market** and **language**.
3. Terradium discovers keywords, clusters them into topics, and turns each cluster
   into a scheduled article. A live timeline shows progress — keep the window open
   while it runs.
4. Review the result (pages, keywords, article count), choose whether to **skip
   weekends**, and add the articles to the plan.

> Native keyword generation is only available when your workspace has it enabled.
> If you don't see it, use [Import from CSV](#import-from-csv) instead.

## Calendar & list views

A plan can be viewed two ways:

- **List** — every item as a row with its title, date, primary keyword, status,
  and a **Generate** button.
- **Calendar** — month grids with a colored dot per item. Click a day to see that
  date's items in a sidebar and generate them.

Each item links to its article once generated.

## Plan statuses

A plan is **Draft**, **Active**, **Completed**, or **Archived**. Change the status
from the plan header. **Only active plans generate content automatically** — draft
and archived plans sit idle until you generate items by hand or activate them.

## Scheduled generation

To let a plan run itself, two things must be true: the plan is **Active**, and the
project has **Scheduled generation** turned on with a timezone and daily time
(see [Projects](/docs/projects#scheduled-generation)). Each day, items scheduled
for that date generate at your chosen time. You can always generate any item
early from the list or calendar.
