Edit Scheduled Post

AIUNIFY Social Media provides an Edit Scheduled Post action for scheduled social post records. This action opens the existing scheduled item in the Social Composer so that its content or schedule can be changed.

Opening a Scheduled Post for Editing

1. Open the area displaying the scheduled social post.
2. Locate the scheduled item you want to change.
3. Select Edit Scheduled Post.
4. The Social Composer opens with the post information loaded.

Information Loaded into the Composer

For an existing post, the Composer can restore:

• The caption
• The connected social account
• Existing media URLs
• The publishing content type
• Story customization metadata
• Selected audio information
• The current scheduled date
• The current scheduled time

Changing the Scheduled Time

If the post already contains a scheduled date, the Composer automatically restores Schedule as the active publishing option and loads the existing date and time.

1. Review the restored post.
2. Keep Schedule selected.
3. Choose the new Date.
4. Choose the new Time.
5. Confirm the Timezone.
6. Review the Channel Preview.
7. Select Schedule Post.

Changing Content

You can also change the caption, media, eligible publishing format, Story customization, or audio before resubmitting the scheduled item.

How the Replacement Is Handled

The current Composer workflow loads the original scheduled record into the editing experience and submits the updated content through the publishing workflow. After the replacement submission begins successfully, the original stored post record is removed so the old and replacement versions are not both retained as active publishing records.

Saving the Edited Item as a Draft

If you decide the scheduled content is no longer ready, you can change the publishing option to Draft and save the revised content as a draft. The current workflow then removes the original scheduled post record after the draft is successfully saved.

Verify the Result

After rescheduling, open Scheduled Posts and confirm that the replacement record contains the intended future publishing time. If you converted the item to a draft, review it through the Draft workflow instead.

Do Not Assume the Original Schedule Remains

Because editing operates as a replacement workflow, always verify the resulting scheduled record after making changes. Confirm the correct account, caption, media, format, date, time, and timezone before leaving the workflow.
