Create and submit a post

Write a post in the post editor, then submit it for review. For what each status means, see Review and approval.

Open your posts from the sidebar: Content > Posts. The list shows every post in your workspace, newest change first, with its Channel, Status, and Last updated time. If there are none yet, it says "No posts yet. Start one with New post."

Start a draft

1. Select New post.
2. Pick a Channel.
3. Select Create draft. The post opens in the editor.

To switch channels later, change Channel in the editor. Fields that the new channel doesn't use are cleared.

Write the post

The editor shows the post's status at the top, next to Channel.

• Body: write the post. The counter shows its length against the channel's limit, like 180 / 2200 on Instagram. Over the limit, the counter turns red and the editor says "The body is over the 2200 character limit for instagram." Save draft and Submit for review can't be selected until you shorten it.
• Angle: pick an angle for the post, or leave it on No angle. Angles come from Strategy > Angles. For setting them up, see Create and assign angles.
• Scheduled time: pick the date and time the post should go out, in your timezone. Leave it empty if you don't know yet.
• Media: select Attach media. In the dialog, drag files in to upload them, or select files this workspace already uploaded. Select Done. To take a file off the post, select the remove button (×) in the corner of its thumbnail. If uploading isn't available in your workspace, the dialog says so. Files that are already uploaded are still there to pick.
• Details: fields for the channel you picked, so they change when the channel does. Fields marked with * are required. List fields read "One value per line". Put each value on its own line.

The preview beside the editor updates as you type. Instagram and X show the post as it will look on the channel. Other channels say there's no preview.

Save or submit

• Select Save draft to keep your work. Saved appears next to the buttons. The post stays a draft and stays editable.
• Select Submit for review when it's ready. Mark saves the post first, then sends it to review. The status changes to in review. If the channel's Approval policy is Auto, Mark can approve it right away instead. See Connect social accounts.

If something needs fixing, the editor says so above the buttons. "Some fields need attention." means a Details field has a problem. The message shows under that field.

Once you submit, the post is locked. Trying to save it shows "This post is locked for review. It can be edited again after a reviewer requests changes." To see what happens next, read Review and approve posts.

Edit a post later

Select a post in the Posts list to open it in the editor. Drafts and posts with changes requested stay editable. Other posts are locked. After a reviewer requests changes, fix the post and select Submit for review again.
