Schedule a post

Set the day and times

1. 1

   Step 1: Set the post's Date near the top of the post.

2. 2

   Step 2: Under Platforms, press Set time on each network's row and pick a time from the list. The list goes in half hours. To type an exact time, double-click the button.

   

   Close

   

3. 3

   Step 3: Give every network a time. A post can't go to review until each one has one.

Each network can go out at a different time on the same day. Changing the Date moves every network to the new day and keeps each one's time.

Approved means scheduled

With approvals on, there's no separate Schedule step. When the client, or a team member with the Approve and publish posts permission, presses Approve, lmnts schedules the post right then. It turns Scheduled, and lmnts sends it to each network at that network's time.

If the client's approvals are off, the box on a draft is called Ready to schedule? and your team presses Schedule instead. See How approvals work.

If the time has already passed

When a post is approved after its time, lmnts doesn't post it on the spot. It asks first:

• Pick a new time: choose a date and time, then press Approve for this time. Every network whose time has passed moves there; the others keep their own time.
• Publish now: approve it and post the late networks straight away.
• Cancel: leave it in review.

Close

Change the time of a scheduled post

1. 1

   Step 1: Open the post and press Reschedule, then Reschedule again when it asks. lmnts takes the post off every network's schedule at once, and it stays approved. This button is for team members with the Approve and publish posts permission, or anyone on the team when the client's approvals are off.

   

   Close

   

2. 2

   Step 2: Change the Date and the times.

3. 3

   Step 3: Press Schedule post.

After approval, the caption, files and networks stay locked; only the timing can change. To change the content, duplicate the post and send the copy for review.

If Schedule post is pressed after a network's time has passed, lmnts warns that it may post at once and offers Yes, proceed, Edit time and Cancel.

Networks you post by hand

lmnts can't post to Other. Once that post is approved, put it up yourself, then press Mark as scheduled manually and fill in Mark as published manually. See After a post goes live.
