Managing Your Posts on the Content Page
Find any post by its status, search your posts, restore deleted ones, repurpose past posts and manage your evergreen queue.
The Content page is the home of every post in your Brand Space. Use it to find a post, check its status, pick up a draft, send a failed post again or bring back something you deleted.
Open it from Create > Content in the left-hand menu.
The tabs
Posts are grouped by status. Each tab shows how many posts it holds.
| Tab | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Drafts | Posts you've saved but not scheduled |
| Scheduled | Posts that will publish automatically at their scheduled time |
| Scheduled Draft | Posts with a date and time that won't publish until they're approved or moved to Scheduled |
| Published | Posts that have gone out |
| Failed | Posts that didn't publish. The count turns red when there's something here. See Troubleshooting failed posts. |
| Favorites | Drafts you've marked as favourites, to find them quickly |
| Evergreen | Posts that are automatically re-shared on a schedule |
| Deleted | The recycle bin. Deleted posts stay here until you restore them or delete them for good. |
Use the search box to find posts in the current tab by their text.
What you can do with a post
The buttons on each post depend on the tab you're in:
| Action | Available on | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Preview | Most tabs | Shows how the post will look on each platform |
| Edit | Most tabs | Opens the post in Composer |
| Add to favorites | Drafts, Favorites | Pins a draft to the Favorites tab |
| Schedule post | Scheduled Draft | Moves the post to Scheduled, so it publishes at its time |
| Reject post | Scheduled, Scheduled Draft | Marks the post as Rejected so it won't publish. You can still find rejected posts in the Planner by filtering on that status. |
| Repurpose | Published, Failed | Creates a new draft copy of the post that you can edit and schedule again |
| Delete | All except Failed | Moves the post to the recycle bin (the Deleted tab) |
| Restore | Deleted | Brings a deleted post back |
| Delete forever | Deleted | Deletes the post permanently. This can't be undone. |
Sending posts to a client for approval
On the Drafts, Scheduled, Scheduled Draft and Favorites tabs, each post has a checkbox. Tick the posts you want a client to review and click Send for approval to create a Client Approval Link. See Getting client approval on posts with a review link.
Evergreen posts
Evergreen posts are re-shared automatically. They come from post slot collections that have ReShare Posts switched on. After a post goes out, it's added back to the queue to publish again later.
The Evergreen tab lists these posts with the date each one will be re-queued. Click Remove from Evergreen to stop a post from being re-shared.
ℹ️ In the slot collection's settings, you can also switch on AI Rewrite Evergreen Posts, which has AI rewrite each evergreen post before it goes back in the queue so it stays fresh.
Synced Content
Open Synced Content at the top of the page to see posts you've published on your social accounts, including ones you posted outside CoPost. Pick a social account to see its posts, then repurpose your best-performing content into a new draft.
To use this, Sync Content must be switched on in Settings > Brand Space.
Frequently asked questions
I deleted a post by mistake. Open the Deleted tab and click Restore on the post.
What's the difference between Scheduled and Scheduled Draft? A Scheduled post publishes automatically at its time. A Scheduled Draft has a time but won't publish until someone approves it or moves it to Scheduled. CoGen can add posts as Scheduled Drafts so you can check them first.
How do I post something again? Open the Published tab and click Repurpose on the post. You'll get a new draft copy to edit and schedule.
