# Schedule and repeat posts

Every post in the composer either goes out **Now** or **Later**. A **Later** post can also repeat on its
own, for example every weekday at 9:00, and Robopost can reword it each time so it never looks copied.

**You need:** a post open in the [composer](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/create-a-post.md) with its channels picked.

## Schedule a post for a date and time

1. In the **Schedule** card, select **Later**.
2. Check the **Timezone**. Change it first if needed.
3. Click the date field, pick a day and a time.
4. Click **Schedule Post**.

The post appears in [Scheduled posts](https://dash.robopost.app/posts-scheduled), in the list and on the calendar. You can't pick a
date in the past.

### Which timezone does the composer use?

- A new post starts in the timezone of the computer you're using.
- If a selected channel has **Enable Timezone Control** turned on in its
  [channel settings](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/channels/channel-settings.md), the composer switches to that channel's timezone.
- When you edit a scheduled post, it keeps the timezone it was scheduled in.

> **Tip:** Changing the timezone after you picked a time keeps the same moment and shows it in the new
> timezone. Set the timezone first, then pick the time.

## Repeat a post on a schedule

1. In the **Schedule** card, select **Later** and pick the date and time of the first post.
2. Turn on **Recurring post?**.
3. Pick an **Interval** (see the table below).
4. Optional: turn on **Recurring until a specified date?** and pick the last date. Without it, the post
   repeats until you stop it.
5. Click **Schedule Post**.

| Interval | When it publishes |
| --- | --- |
| **Every day, at specific time slots** | Every day at each hour you pick under **Time Slots** (for example 9:00 and 18:00) |
| **Every week, at specific time slots** | At each day-and-time pair you add, such as Monday 9:00 and Thursday 17:30 |
| **Every 3 hours**, **Every 6 hours**, **Every 12 hours** | That many hours after the previous one |
| **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Monthly**, **Yearly** | Same time each day, same weekday each week, same date each month or year |

For **Every week, at specific time slots**, click the **Weekly Time Slots** field to open
**Add a Weekly Time Slot**, pick a **Day of the Week** and a **Time of the Day**, and click **Add**. Repeat for
each slot.

### Reword the post or change its image each time

Two switches appear under a recurring post:

- **Rephrase post after first iteration using AI**: from the second time on, AI rewrites the text in the
  tone you pick. Use it on networks that reject repeated text, such as X.
- **Generate a new image after first iteration using AI**: from the second time on, AI creates a fresh
  image. Pick the **AI Model**. See [AI images](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/ai/ai-images.md).

## How a recurring post shows up

A recurring post is one entry in [Scheduled posts](https://dash.robopost.app/posts-scheduled), marked with its interval (for
example **Recurring daily**). Each time it publishes, the published copy goes to
[Published posts](https://dash.robopost.app/posts-published) and the next occurrence takes its place in Scheduled posts.

To see only recurring posts, open **Filters** in Scheduled posts, set **Recurring Posts Only** to **Yes**
and click **Search**.

## Change or stop a recurring post

1. Open the post from [Scheduled posts](https://dash.robopost.app/posts-scheduled). You can't drag a recurring post on the calendar.
2. Change the interval or the end date, or turn off **Recurring post?** to stop it after the next one.
3. Click **Update Scheduled Post**.

To stop it right away, delete the scheduled entry. Posts already published stay published.

## Reschedule several posts at once

In [Scheduled posts](https://dash.robopost.app/posts-scheduled), tick the posts, then open **Actions → Edit schedule**. In
**Set Schedule**, choose **Now** or **Later**, set the date and the recurrence, and click **Confirm**. See
[Manage scheduled posts](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/manage-scheduled-posts.md).

## Add the same closing line to every post

To end every post from a channel with the same text (a signature, a call to action, your hashtags), set a
**Post Signature** in the channel's [settings](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/channels/channel-settings.md). Robopost adds it at the end
of each post that channel publishes. For reusable text you place yourself, use
[Short codes](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/short-codes.md).
