Updated 23 October 2026
Click New Post in the sidebar, write your text, add your media, tick the accounts, then click Publish now or choose a time and click Schedule.
Steps
- Connect at least one account on the Accounts page. The post editor needs an account to post to.
- Click New Post in the sidebar.
- Write your text in the editor.
- Add images or a video. Drag files in, or pick them from your Media library.
- Tick the accounts that should get this post. You can tick accounts on several platforms at once.
- Open Customise per platform if you want different text or settings for one platform. For example a shorter caption for X (Twitter), a Reel instead of a video on Facebook, or a board on Pinterest.
- Choose when it goes out. The time menu offers Now, Next queue opening, Best times, Quick times and Custom Time....
- Click Publish now to post straight away, or Schedule to post at the chosen time. Click Save Draft to come back later.
Good to know
- Times use the time zone in Settings > Profile > Timezone.
- The editor checks each platform's limits before you schedule. If a caption is too long or a video is too long for one platform, it tells you which one and why.
- A platform that needs media, such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Pinterest, will not accept a text-only post.
- After you schedule, the post shows on the Calendar and on All posts. Open it there to edit, move or delete it.
- Two more post types live in the same editor: Blog post (when a WordPress site is connected) and X Article (needs X Premium).
