How to repost an existing post

Repost creates a new post from an existing one: same client, platform, post type, caption, hashtags, media and Instagram collaborators. Use it to publish a successful post again or to re-run a seasonal post. The original post isn't changed.

Before you start#

• Find the post in Scheduling. Repost is in the calendar's Day view.
• You're an Editor, Admin or Owner.

Repost#

1. Open Scheduling and switch to the Day view on the day of the original post.
2. On the post, click the Repost icon (two arrows in a loop).
3. The Repost window shows the Original Post: text. Under New Schedule Date & Time, pick a new date and time, or use Quick Schedule: (1 Hour, 3 Hours, 1 Day, 1 Week from now).
4. To publish immediately instead, switch on Post now.
5. Click Schedule Repost (or Post Now).

The copy appears on the calendar as a new post.

Good to know#

• The copy is a new post. It goes through the client's approval rules again, as any new post would.
• You can't change the caption in the Repost window. To change it, open the new post afterwards and click the edit icon while it's scheduled.
• The copy goes to the same platform as the original. To publish the same content elsewhere, create a new post with several platforms.
• The new time must be in the future, otherwise you see "Scheduled time must be in the future".
