Creating Posts

Drafts, duplicates and reusing a post

Saving work in progress, copying a post that worked, and loading an existing post as a starting point.

Very little social content is written from nothing. Drafts, duplicates and loading an old post are how a week's posting gets done in an hour.

Drafts

Save Draft keeps a post without scheduling it. Nothing is published, and it waits in the list until you come back.

A DRAFT NEVER PUBLISHES ITSELF
Even with a date set on it, a post left as a draft does not go out. If a post you were sure you scheduled never appeared, check whether it is still sitting as a draft.

Duplicating

Duplicate copies an existing post so you can change the wording and the date. It is the right way to run a series, or to post something seasonal that worked last year.

Loading a post

Load Post pulls an existing post into the one you are writing, as a starting point. Useful when head office has sent something down and you want to adapt it, or when you keep a house template as a post.

Keeping the library usable

  • Name posts by what they are about and roughly when.
  • Delete drafts you abandoned. A list of half-written posts hides the ones that matter.
  • Reuse deliberately — a duplicate that still mentions last year's dates is worse than a fresh post.
