Create a post

The composer is the same whether you open it from the calendar, from a channel's menu or from a time slot. An agent connected through MCP fills in the same fields for you.

How do I open the composer?#

1. In the Calendar, choose Create Post. Studio sets the date to the next free time slot.
2. If you have saved sets, pick one under Select a Set, or choose Continue without set.
3. Click the avatars of the channels the post goes to. Selected channels appear as tabs above the editor.
4. Write the post, add media, and choose Add to Calendar or Save as draft.

You can also click an empty slot in the calendar to start a post at that time, or choose Create Post from a channel's menu to start with that channel selected.

How do I write one post for several channels?#

Write in the global editor, the first tab with the globe icon. The text, images and follow-up parts there go to every selected channel. The Post Preview on the right shows each network's version, and each channel keeps its own character count.

How do I change the text for one channel?#

1. Click the channel's tab above the editor.
2. Choose Edit content. The editor now holds that channel's own copy, marked Editing a Specific Network.
3. Change the text, media or follow-up parts. Other channels keep the global version.

To undo it, choose Back to global. This discards the channel's own version, and it cannot be undone.

Each channel's tab also has a Settings panel, named after the channel, for options such as who can reply on X, the post type on Instagram or the title on YouTube. The channel pages list them, for example X and TikTok.

How do I add images and video?#

1. Under the editor, choose Insert Media to open the Media Library.
2. Pick files you uploaded before, or choose Upload to add new ones. You can also drop files straight onto the editor.
3. Choose Add selected media.

Click an attached image or video to open Media Settings, where you can add Alt Text (for accessibility) and, for a video, create a thumbnail. Drag the small thumbnails to change their order. Each network has its own rules for what it accepts, shown in the channels overview.

How do I add a thread or comments?#

Choose the button under the editor: it reads Add post, Add comment or Add comment or post, depending on what the networks you picked support. Each part has its own editor and media.

• Use the arrows beside a part to change the order, and the bin to remove it.
• Use the delay button beside a later part (Delay comment) to send it some minutes after the part before.
• On X and Threads the parts become a thread; on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook they become comments. See follow-up parts.

How do I add tags, a signature or a repeat?#

The bar along the bottom of the composer holds:

• Tags: colour labels that show on the post in the calendar.
• Repeat Post Every...: publishes the same post again at a fixed interval. See How do repeating posts work?
• Reviewed: a note to yourself that you have checked the post. It does not change when or how it goes out. See Review and share posts.

Add Signature in the editor's toolbar inserts a saved signature. See Sets and signatures.

Why will the composer not let me schedule?#

When you choose Add to Calendar or Post now, Studio checks every channel and shows a message naming the one with the problem:

• Your post should have at least one character or one image. Add some content to that channel.
• post is too long, please fix it: the text is over that network's limit. Shorten it in that channel's tab.
• Please fix your settings: a required setting is missing, such as a YouTube title or a Discord channel. The settings panel opens for you.
• A network rule, such as "Item must be a video" for YouTube, appears as written.

On the free plan, X posts also need enough credits. The line above the buttons shows the cost, and says "Not enough credits to schedule it. Top up, or save it as a draft." when you are short. See How is X charged on the free plan?

How do I link to another post that has not gone out yet?#

1. In the editor's toolbar, choose Link to a post.
2. Pick the post. Only posts scheduled before this one are offered, so the link can always resolve.
3. A chip appears in the text. It says the link is filled in when the post goes out.

At publish time, Studio swaps the chip for the other post's live address. If that post has not published within an hour, or never will, this post fails rather than go out with a broken link. In the API and for agents, the same reference is written as (post:<id>).
