FAQs
Q1. Will enabling holidays affect my teammates' Planner views?
A: No. Each user has their own personalized holiday settings. Turning holidays on or off, or selecting specific countries and types, only affects your own view.
Q2. What if I don't see any holiday even after enabling the setting?
A: Make sure you’ve selected at least one country for your holiday preferences. If nothing is selected, no holidays will appear.
Q3. Can I use the “Generate Post with AI” option if I’ve run out of AI text credits?
A: No. If you’ve used all your AI text credits, the "Generate Post with AI" button will be disabled. You must increase your AI credit limit to use this feature again.
Q4. Do holidays appear in all Planner views (e.g., List View, Calendar View)?
A: Holidays are primarily designed for Calendar View to support visual planning.
