# Manage scheduled posts

Everything waiting to be published is in **Posts → Scheduled posts** ([Scheduled posts](https://dash.robopost.app/posts-scheduled)).
You can browse it as a list or a calendar, edit any post, move it, copy it or delete it.

**You need:** at least one scheduled post. See [Create a post](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/create-a-post.md).

## See your upcoming posts

The page has two tabs:

- **List** shows posts in the order they will publish, next one first. Below the posts,
  **Upcoming collection schedules** shows when your [collections](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/collections.md) will post next.
  The post a collection publishes is picked at that moment, so these slots show the collection, not a post.
- **Calendar** shows posts and collection slots by month, week or day. Use the arrows to move between
  periods and the today button to come back. When a day holds more than three posts, click the "more" link
  under them to see the rest.

A post sent to several channels appears once per channel.

## Find a post with filters

Click **Filters** to expand them. You can combine:

- **Search** (words in the post text)
- **Post Tags**, **Social Networks**, **Channels**, **Channel Categories**
- **Recurring Posts Only**
- **From Date** and **To Date**

Click **Search** to apply, **Reset** to clear.

## Edit a scheduled post

1. Click the post in the list, or click it on the calendar (it opens in a new tab).
2. The composer opens with **This post is set to be published on:** and the date at the top.
3. Change the text, media, network settings or schedule.
4. Click **Update Scheduled Post**.

You can't change the channel of a scheduled post: the channel card is locked. To post it somewhere else,
use **Copy to draft and edit** (below), pick the new channels in the draft, and schedule it.

To turn the post back into a draft without publishing it, click **Revert as Draft**. The **Discussion** tab
holds your team's comments on the post.

## Move a post to another date

- **On the calendar**: drag the post to a new day or time. Robopost saves the new time at once.
- **From the list**: open the post's **⋮** menu, choose **Edit schedule**, set the new date and click
  **Confirm**.

You can't drag a post into the past, and you can't drag a recurring post or a recurring collection. Open
it and change its schedule in the composer instead. See [Schedule and repeat posts](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/schedule-and-repeat.md).

## Copy a post

Open the post's **⋮** menu:

- **Copy to draft** saves a copy in [Draft posts](https://dash.robopost.app/posts-drafts) and leaves the scheduled post as it is.
- **Copy to draft and edit** does the same and opens the copy, ready to change.
- **Copy to collection** adds a copy to one or more [collections](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/collections.md).

## Delete a scheduled post

- One post: open the **⋮** menu and choose **Delete**, or open the post and use
  **More actions → Delete Post**. Confirm with **Yes**.
- Several posts: see the next section.

A deleted scheduled post is never published. Deleting the scheduled entry of a recurring post stops the
whole series.

## Work on many posts at once

1. Tick the checkbox on each post you want.
2. Open **Actions** in the bar at the bottom of the page.
3. Choose an action:

| Action | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Select All** / **Unselect All** | Tick or untick every post loaded in the list |
| **Edit schedule** | Give all selected posts a new date, or post them now, and set a recurrence |
| **Copy to collection** | Add copies to a collection |
| **Copy to draft** | Save copies as drafts |
| **Delete** | Delete the selected posts |

## When does a scheduled post publish?

At its scheduled time, Robopost sends it to the network. It usually appears there within a few minutes. While
posts are being sent, the page shows **We are currently posting … post(s)...**, then **Posting is completed.**
with a **Refresh the page** link. The post is then in [Published posts](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/published-posts.md).

A post can wait a little longer when the channel has reached its daily posting limit: it stays in Scheduled
posts and publishes once the channel is back under the limit. See [Posting limits](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/channels/posting-limits.md).
