# Edit, duplicate or delete a post

## Edit a post

You can edit **drafts** and **scheduled** posts.

1. On the **Posts** page, open the **…** menu on the post and click **Edit**. From the calendar, click the post.
2. Change the caption, media, channels, time or settings.
3. Save. You see **Post updated successfully!** or **Post scheduled successfully!**

Good to know:

- If the post goes to several channels, your caption, first comment and media changes apply to all of them. Each channel keeps its own time, custom caption and settings.
- You cannot edit a post while it is publishing.
- You cannot edit a **published** or **failed** post. For a failed post, see [When a post fails](/help/manage/failed-posts).

## Publish a scheduled post now

Open the **…** menu and click **Post now**, then confirm with **Publish now**. The post goes out right away instead of at its time.

## Duplicate a post

Open the **…** menu and click **Duplicate**. You see **Post duplicated as draft.**

| Copied | Not copied |
|---|---|
| The main caption | Custom captions for single channels |
| The first comment | Platform settings, like YouTube title or privacy |
| The media, in the same order | The publish time — the copy is a draft |
| The channels that are still connected | |

Open the draft, add what you need, and schedule it.

## Delete a post

1. Open the **…** menu and click **Delete**.
2. Confirm with **Delete**.

You see **Post deleted successfully!**

- If the post goes to several channels, deleting removes it from **all** of them in Schedule & Chill.
- Deleting in Schedule & Chill does **not** remove a post that is already live on the platform. Delete it on the platform too.
- Deleted posts disappear from the list and the calendar. The app has no screen to bring them back.

Deleted a post by mistake? If you use an AI tool connected to Schedule & Chill, ask it to restore the post. Otherwise click **Send feedback** in the left menu and tell us which post.
