Scheduling and publishing
Draft, schedule, post now, and repeat a post on a cycle
Where: Inside the composer, the footer
The three ways to finish a post
| Button | What happens |
|---|---|
| Save as Draft | The post appears on the calendar prefixed Draft: and never publishes |
| Add to calendar | Scheduled for the date and time in the footer |
| Post Now | Publishes immediately. Hover the schedule button to reveal it |
When you are editing an existing post the primary button becomes Update, and a Delete Post option appears.
Picking a time
The date picker sets the day; Pick time sets the hour and minute. If you opened the composer by clicking a calendar slot, that time is already filled in.
Times are in your browser's timezone. There is no per-account timezone setting.
Repeating a post
Repeat Post Every turns a single post into a recurring one:
Day, Two Days, Three Days, Four Days, Five Days, Six Days, Week, Two Weeks, or Month.
Cancel removes the repeat.
Editing a recurring post affects all future occurrences, not just the one you opened. Postiz warns you when this applies.
Tags
Tags live in the footer. Create one with a colour, and that colour becomes the post's colour on the calendar. This is the practical way to see campaign, client or content type at a glance in a full week.
Tags can be edited and deleted later, and the colour change applies everywhere the tag is used.
Drafts
Drafts are the right tool whenever a post is not ready:
- Content waiting on client approval, paired with a preview link.
- A week planned in advance that you want to review before it goes live.
- Anything half-written, since closing the composer otherwise loses it.
A draft occupies its slot on the calendar so you can see the shape of the week, but the scheduler ignores it.
What happens after you schedule
The post sits in its slot until its time, then publishes. On the calendar it switches to published and the Preview action links to the live post.
If it fails, the card gets a red ring and the platform's error in a tooltip. Postiz does not silently retry a rejected post: fix the cause and reschedule. See Troubleshooting.
