Scheduling and publishing
Where: Inside the composer, the footer
The three ways to finish a post
Section titled “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. The arrow next to the schedule button opens it |
When you are editing an existing post the primary button becomes Update, and a Delete Post option appears.
Picking a time
Section titled “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. If you opened it with Create Post, the next free time slot of your channels is.
Times are in your browser’s timezone. There is no per-account timezone setting.
Repeating a post
Section titled “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.
Tags live in the footer. Create one with a colour, and that colour becomes the band on the post’s card on the calendar. This is the practical way to see campaign 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
Section titled “Drafts”Drafts are the right tool whenever a post is not ready:
- Content waiting on a second opinion, 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
Section titled “What happens after you schedule”The post sits in its slot on the calendar until its time, then publishes. On the calendar it switches to published and Preview Post links to the live version. To change the time before then, drag the card or open the post and change its date, see Moving and rescheduling posts.
If it fails, the card gets a red ! and the platform’s error in a tooltip.
UseNadia does not silently retry a rejected post: fix the cause and reschedule.

On an Instagram post carrying an automation, the template is posed on the publication at this moment and not before — Instagram has no media ID until the post exists.
