Last updated: January 22, 2024
If you’ve scheduled a post or saved it as a draft in your post and image space, you’re in control of its publication. This article will walk you through the steps to edit and manage your posts effortlessly.
Get to know post management
The post management page allows you to manage all your published, draft, and scheduled posts within your image and post spaces.
ℹ️ Note: Access to the post management page and its associated options is exclusive to admins and moderators within the space. Please note that moderators can only view and manage posts from spaces where they hold moderator privileges.
To access the page, click the community name or logo in the top-left corner and select Posts. When you arrive on the page, you can find posts categorized in three tabs: All, Drafts, and Scheduled. Within these tabs, you can filter posts by title, author, and spaces.
In addition to managing drafts and scheduled posts, you can access options such as editing, duplicating, and deleting published posts through the All tab. To access these options, hover over the post title and click the More actions (three dots) icon next to the post.
Manage draft posts
If you have saved your work within the post as a draft, you can head to the Drafts tab to edit posts to finish crafting your post.
Edit a post
To edit a post, hover over the post title, click the More actions (three dots) icon next to the post, and select Edit post.
