Have you scheduled a post in Kontentino and decided to make changes to it before it goes out on social media? Our quick guide will take you through the process of editing your posts for individual social media platforms. 👇

You can edit your post directly in Kontentino. Select the post you want to edit, click Edit post, and start making your changes. Once you’re done, click on Save to save your work.

There are two methods of scheduling your Facebook posts – the Asynchronous scheduling (Export posts in advance) and Direct scheduling (Read more here).

If you choose the Asynchronous scheduling (Export in advance) option, your Facebook posts are exported to the platform in advance. In simple terms, your scheduled posts will be stored on Facebook until they are published.

Why? Thanks to exporting the posts to Facebook in advance, you can make changes to your posts that wouldn’t otherwise be possible due to the platform’s API limitations for third-party app tools, e.g., boosting posts before publishing. (Find out more about the API limitations of social media platforms)

Due to this, if you decide to make changes to the exported post, you have to apply these changes directly on Facebook, too. Since your post was previously exported to Facebook, the changes you make only in Kontentino won’t apply to it.

To edit your post (the status of such a post will be Exported in advance), open the post in Kontentino → click on See post → you’ll be redirected to your post on Facebook. If you're not logged in as the respective page, make sure to switch to the profile of your page on Facebook first, then open the post again and click on Edit (if you wish to only edit the copy) or Delete it (for any other changes):

Then, you can go back to Kontentino → Edit post → change the post status manually back to Draft → Save post → then you can schedule the post again:

If you choose to schedule your Facebook posts via Direct scheduling (simply hitting the Schedule button, see below), all you need to do is apply changes in Kontentino, like for any other platform in Kontentino (read below).

The posts you schedule on all other platforms aren’t exported from Kontentino to the respective platforms beforehand. This means that the changes you make in the scheduled post in Kontentino will be automatically reflected. Kontentino will publish the updated post.

To edit a scheduled post (not exported in advance), click Edit post → make the changes → click Save changes.

You can easily unschedule your post from publishing.

To do this in Kontentino, click on Edit post → scroll to Date and time → click the X button to clear date → Save changes. And that’s it - your post is now unscheduled and can be found in the Post ideas section!
