Whether it's adjusting the image, adding a touch of creativity in captions, or arranging images in a specific order, you have the flexibility to make these changes in your existing posts. This article will guide you through the steps to edit image posts.

## Edit post content

After saving a post as a draft, scheduling it, or publishing it within the space, you can modify the post's content and settings in either a desktop or mobile browser.

To edit a published post, open the post, click **More actions (three dots)** in the upper-right corner, and select  **Edit post**.

If you are an admin or moderator trying to edit a draft or scheduled post:

1. Click  **Community**  in the left sidebar, then select  **Posts**.

2. Hover over the post, click **More actions (three dots)** and select  **Edit post**.  

### **Update your caption**

In the **Add a caption** , make your preferred changes to the caption. You can also use the same content formatting, lists, and emojis options that you used when creating a post.

### Crop images

To crop an image in your post:

1. Choose the desired image from the thumbnails displayed at the bottom.

2. Click **More actions (three dots)** on the top-right corner of the selected image and select  **Crop image**.

3. Use the slider to zoom in on the image. Then, click and drag the image to align and fit it within the crop.

4. Once you're satisfied with the adjustments, click **Save** to apply the changes.

### Remove images

Hover over an image thumbnail at the bottom of the dialog and click the  **X**  icon to remove it if needed. You can also click **More actions (three dots)** in the top-right corner of the selected image, then select  **Remove**.
