Choose when a post goes out

Times are shown in the time zone from your settings. New accounts start in UTC — set yours first in Profile and time zone. The composer shows the zone under the date field, for example Times are in Asia/Dhaka (GMT+6).

Publish now

Leave Schedule (optional) empty and click Post Now. The post goes out within seconds.

Publish at a date and time

1. Click the field under Schedule (optional) and pick a date and time in the future.
2. The button changes to Schedule Post. Click it.

Use the next open slot

If you have a posting schedule, an Add to queue button shows next to Schedule (optional).

1. Click Add to queue. It lists up to three Next open slots in the next 14 days.
2. Pick one. It fills in the date and time.
3. Click Schedule Post.

A slot is skipped when another scheduled post already sits at that exact time. Slots are not reserved until you click Schedule Post.

Keep it as a draft

Click Save as Draft. A draft never publishes, even if you picked a time. Open it later from Posts → Drafts.

Change the time later

• One post: open it with Edit, change the date, and click Schedule Post or Save Changes.
• Several posts: select them on the Posts page and click Reschedule.
• Calendar: drag the post to another day. See Use the calendar.
• Publish early: open the … menu on the post and click Post now.

Careful when editing:

• On the edit page, Save Changes on a draft that has a date schedules it.
• To stop a scheduled post from publishing, select it on the Posts page and click Mark Draft. Don't just clear the date on the edit page — the post stays scheduled without a time.

Your monthly post limit

You can publish up to 500 posts per month.

• Every post you publish or schedule counts, once per channel post, in the month you create it.
• Drafts don't count.
• When you have 5 or fewer left, the composer warns you. When none are left, you can only save drafts.
• The count resets on the first day of each month.

There is also a daily limit per platform: 25 posts per platform, or 10 for YouTube. See When a post fails.
