Selecting Social Media Channels

Reuse saved replies and hashtags

Shorten links, and more.

Action Buttons

Uploading Media

Upload Your Own Media: Use your own images or videos.
Free Media Libraries: Select from a variety of free-to-use media.
Integrated Canva: Create stunning images using Canva's editing tools, which are tailored specifically for social media use.

Editing Video Metadata

For video posts, you can adjust thumbnails and other metadata by using the Video Properties button. This helps ensure your videos are visually optimized across platforms

Adding Links

The post editor supports hyperlinks—simply enter a link, and metadata will be gathered and displayed automatically. You can adjust how the link appears based on your preferences, and links are shortened according to your Publishing Settings.

Mentioning Other Users

When mentioning other users, type @ to trigger a dropdown list of available tags for each platform. Remember to use a single social profile when constructing posts with mentions, as user tags vary between networks

You can also scroll or paginate through the preview to see how your post will appear on each selected network. Use the Missing preview? option if any issues arise.
