1. Connect Your Social Accounts Before you can start scheduling, you need to link your profiles in the Channel Manager.

  • Navigate to your settings and open the connected platforms tab.

  • Click the "Connect Account" button or the large purple plus icon.

  • The Free Tier allows a maximum of 3 social accounts total.

  • The Pro Tier allows you to connect up to 10 or 15 channels.

2. Open the Composer Your main dashboard is the pulse of the application.

  • Locate the main content area in the center of your screen.

  • Click the clear "Create Post" button at the top.

  • This opens the Split-View Editor.

3. Draft Your Content

  • On the left side of the form, use the multi-select chips to choose which accounts the post will go to.

  • Write your caption in the main text area, which supports mentions and emojis.

  • Use the drag-and-drop zone in the Media Uploader to add your images or videos.

4. Customize and Preview

  • Check the Live Preview on the right side of the screen.

  • The preview uses a mobile device frame that switches tabs as you toggle between different platforms.

  • This lets you see exactly how your media will look or where the text cut-off happens on a platform like LinkedIn.

  • If you are on the Pro Tier, you can use Platform Overrides to write a master caption and customize it specifically for each platform.

5. Schedule It

  • Use the Scheduling Picker to set your desired date and time.

  • Once your post is scheduled, it will appear directly in the "Next Up" Queue on your dashboard.
