How to edit or reschedule a scheduled post

Change the caption, media or time of a post that hasn't published yet, and what editing does to its approvals.

You can change a post any time before it publishes: its caption, media or scheduled time. Once a post is live, it can't be edited from Kredia.

Before you start

  • The post is still scheduled. Posts that are publishing, published or failed can't be edited. A failed post can be published again with Post now or deleted and recreated; see How to publish a post now or retry a failed post.
  • You're an Editor, Admin or Owner. Viewers can open posts but not change them.

Edit or move a post

  1. Open Scheduling and find the post.
  2. Open the edit window in one of these ways:
    • In the Day view, click the pencil icon (Edit) on the post.
    • In any view, click the post to open Post details, then click Edit post.
  3. The Edit Post window opens with the post's current content. Change the caption under Content, replace or add media, or pick a new date and time under Schedule Date & Time.
  4. Click Save changes.

Kredia checks the edited post again before saving. Problems that would stop it from publishing appear under Cannot schedule — fix these issues first:, and warnings (such as a connection that expires soon) under Warnings:.

You can also edit scheduled Instagram posts from the Preview page: open the post on the Instagram tab and click Edit.

What editing does to approvals

  • If the client's approval rules say an edited post needs approval again, saving resets the approvals it had. The post goes back to Waiting and appears in the approvers' Approvals inbox. The post's Versions tab shows the change.
  • Each save creates a new version. Approvers always approve a specific version; see How to compare versions, restore and comment on a post.
  • Moving a held (overdue) post to a new time is one of the two ways to release it; the other is Post now. See An approved post didn't publish.

What can go wrong

  • There's no pencil icon. The post isn't scheduled any more (it's publishing, published or failed), or you're a Viewer.
  • "Scheduled time must be in the future". Pick a later time.
  • A published post needs a fix. Edit it in the platform's own app, or repost it from Kredia as a new post; see How to repost an existing post.
