How to schedule, post now, approve, or request changes on a post
Open the post in the app and decide what happens to it: schedule it for a day and time, publish it right away, or, if it needs your approval, approve it or request changes.

Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
Every post ends with a decision: when it goes out and who approves it. In the app, that's at the bottom of the post screen, just a tap away.
Before you start
- Have a social network connected and the post ready with caption and image.
- Approve shows up for anyone with permission to approve posts.
Step by step
- Step 1:
On the Content tab, tap the post.
- Step 2:
Scroll to the bottom of the screen. Under Date and time, tap Choose date and set when the post should go out.
- Step 3:
With the date set, tap Schedule: the post goes out on its own at the set time. To publish it right away, tap Post now.
- Step 4:
When a post needs approval, it shows Pending approval at the top.
- Step 5:
Check the caption, image, and date. If everything looks good, scroll to the bottom and tap Approve. If something needs changing, tap Request changes and write what needs to be fixed.
How to know it worked
A scheduled post shows up on its set day, on the Content tab. An approved post no longer shows the Pending approval notice.
If something goes wrong
The app won't let you schedule it.
Something's missing from the post: the tagged network, the image (required on Instagram), or the date. The notice on screen tells you what's missing.
