Manage your posts
Posts is your queue and history — every post you've written, scheduled, or published, with its status on every channel it targets.
Updated 2026-10-03
Queue, Drafts, Posted
Posts is split into three groups. Queue holds posts scheduled for a future slot or time. Drafts holds posts you’ve saved but haven’t scheduled or sent. Postedholds everything that’s already gone out (or tried to).
Every post shows a per-target status chipfor each account it’s aimed at:
- Published — live on that platform; the chip opens the post.
- In your TikTok inbox— delivered to TikTok as a draft; open TikTok’s notifications and tap the upload to finish posting it.
- Publishing — sending right now.
- Retrying — the last attempt hit a temporary problem; the chip shows the reason and when the next attempt runs.
- Queued or Scheduled — waiting for its scheduled time.
- Draft — part of a draft; nothing is queued until you schedule it. A draft shows when you created it, not a time.
- Failed— didn’t go out, with a reason shown on the chip.
- Skipped— the post wasn’t sent to that account.
- Canceled — you canceled it before it sent.
A single post can be partially published— some accounts succeed while others fail, and each one shows its own status independently. Filter the list by platform or by status to find what you’re looking for.
Edit drafts and queued posts
Edit reopens a draft or a queued post in Compose with everything filled in — text, per-account versions, media, accounts, the X link reply, TikTok and Facebook options, and the time. Saving updates the same post; it never makes a copy.
A queued post can be edited until any of its accounts starts publishing. From then on it’s going out as written, and editing (or moving it to drafts) is refused — if that happens while you’re editing, Compose tells you and your changes aren’t applied. While it’s being saved the post is briefly off the schedule; if saving is interrupted, it goes back to its time within a few minutes (or stays in Drafts if that time has passed).
Changing an X link reply’s text or timing doesn’t use another of the month’s link replies, and neither does turning one back on for the same post. Adding a reply to a post that didn’t have one does; removing a reply doesn’t give its slot back.
A post where an earlier attempt may already have reached a platform can’t be edited — publishing it again could post it twice. Check that account first.
On a draft you can also Schedule it straight from the list (the next open slot, a slot, or a custom time), Post now, or Deleteit — both ask you to click twice, and deleting can’t be undone. Scheduling or posting a draft runs the same platform checks as Compose; an account that was disconnected since is skipped.
Move to drafts, cancel, reschedule & retry
Move to drafts takes a queued post off the schedule and keeps it as a draft, all of it at once. Cancel stops a queued post from going out. Reschedule a queued post by picking another slot in your cadence or a custom date and time.
A failed post shows a Retry button when the failure was temporary — a platform outage or rate limit, say — so you can send it again without rewriting it. Failures that need a change on your side (an expired connection, a rejected file) show their reason instead.
Published, failed, and canceled posts can’t be edited.
How publishing works
Scheduling a post hands it to a server-side worker that publishes it automatically at the set time, whether or not the app is open on your machine. If an account fails, it’s retried — one failing account doesn’t hold up or sink delivery to the rest. Posts that include video take a little longer to go out, since video is processed first.
When a channel needs reconnecting
If a post fails because an account lost its connection, that account shows a Reconnect badge on Channels— its access token expired or was revoked on the platform’s side. Connect it again there, and posting to that account resumes.
