What’s a Category queue?
A category queue is a powerful way to plan your evergreen content by re-purposing the already published and future content tagged to a certain category to be re-utilised for publishing on the platforms.
This would allow us to not just be able to schedule a specific post, but a whole category of posts and the system would cycle through all of the posts until the end and then reset and start again.


How it works?
Pre- requisite: 
 User should have a list of 
published
 posts 
tagged to a category
which can then be utilised as a part of new category queue creation.
