Manage Your Posts From Ready Social

If you want to make any edits to the content or publishing dates to the post you have already drafted or scheduled, you can do it either from the 'Manage Posts' tab or from the Calendar. We'll walk you through both routes. 

First, let's see how to do it from 'Manage Post.' 

When you go to the Manage Posts page, you will get the list view of all types of posts under separate tabs. These contain tabs like Queued posts, Unscheduled, Error, Delivered, and Pending Approval.

1. Edit a Queued Post

1. Find the post you want to edit and click on the 'Edit Post' icon, as shown below.

   

2. An 'Edit Post' pop-up will appear. 

   

3. Here, you can make changes to the post's content, including text and attachments (images, videos, GIFs). 
4. After you're done editing, click on the 'Update'  button to save your changes. 

To 'Copy' or 'Duplicate' posts from one account to another

If you have created and scheduled posts for certain accounts that you want to schedule for other accounts as well, you can do it in two ways using the functions in the Manage Post menu.

2. Copy a Post

1. Go to 'Queued Posts.'

2. You’ll find the Duplicate button when you hover over each queued post. 

   

3. Click the button to edit and reschedule it again to the platform of your choice. 

3. Copy Multiple Posts

1. From the list of all scheduled posts, select the ones you want to copy by checking the box to the left of each one. 
2. You can select multiple posts at a time. Just click on the 'Select All' checkbox to select all the posts in the queue.  
3. Click on the 'Copy To' button and select the accounts you want to copy these posts to.

4. Note that the copied posts will retain the same schedule as they were originally set for in the queue. 

   

4. Re-share a Post once it is Published

If you want to reshare a post that has been published, you have to go to the 'Delivered' tab. This tab contains all the posts that have been shared in the past 6 months. 

1. Posts ->> Manage Posts ->> Delivered.
2. Scroll to the post you want to schedule again.

3. When you move your cursor to the post, the 'Reshare Post' button appears below. Click on it. 

   

4. Select the accounts you want to reshare the post on and schedule them accordingly. 

If you don't wish to re-share posts individually or immediately, these features will help you store all the data of your posts:

• Export your posts as a CSV - You can save all of your selected posts under any of the tabs in the form of a CSV and reschedule them to your social media profiles using our Bulk Scheduling feature.
• Save as Drafts - To save your published posts as drafts, click on the 'Reshare Post' button and then click on the 'Save as draft' button. The posts will be saved as drafts for you to schedule/share later.

5. How do I delete a published post?

There are instances when you might publish one or multiple posts with mistakes. Ready Social allows users to delete posts that have already been published on some social media platforms.

You can find all published posts in the Delivered tab of the Manage Posts page. When you delete a post from the delivered tab, it will delete the post from the platform on which it was published.

However, some platforms have API restrictions. Here is an overview to show you which type of social accounts will let you delete a delivered post from Ready Social.

Follow these steps to ldelete a published post from Ready Social:

1. Go to Posts ->> Manage Posts ->> Delivered tab.

2. When you hover over the post you want to delete, you will be able to see the Delete button.

   

3. Click on the button and give the final permission to delete the post from the account on which it was published.

   

   Your post has been deleted from Ready Social, as well as the social media tab it was published on.

6. Content Calendar

You can edit and reschedule your posts, as well as edit and schedule drafts with specific dates, using the Calendar in Ready Social. The primary function of the calendar is to get a bird's-eye view of your content schedule across all accounts. 

To access the Calendar, go to 'Posts' > Calendar. 

Filter calendar view according to day/week/month

You can filter your calendar to view by single or grouped accounts, platforms, creators, clients, post types, tags, and the status of the posts. 

There are four types of Calendar views available. They are:

• List view
• Daily view
• Weekly view 
• Monthly view

Select a view by clicking on the corresponding option.

To create new posts or drafts from the calendar, simply click on the date or time slot you want. The post-composer popup will open up. You can easily create and schedule directly from here. 

Edit a post or draft from the calendar

Editing a post from the calendar is pretty simple. 

1. Go to the upcoming post or draft and click on it.  

2. When the pop-up with the post details appears, click on the edit icon and edit the content. 

   

3. Click 'Update' or 'Update Draft' to make the edits you have made ready to publish. 

Reorder your queued post using the calendar

Instead of going into each post and editing the details, Ready Social lets you reorder with just a drag-and-drop.

Using calendar view, you can easily shuffle your posts or drafts by dragging and dropping a post to any date you want to schedule it for.

The calendar view provides you with four specified time slots for every hour of the day, on which you can drag and drop your posts. This way, your posts can be rescheduled without you having to manually specify the new date & time.

These granular time slots are available in the week and day view on the calendar.
