Steps
Choose the right scope
Open Social and select the client, location, social profiles, and publishing date.
Confirm what the page is showing
Check the approved business update, offer, media, tags, and connected profiles. Make sure the scope and date match the question you are trying to answer.
Understand post status
Open the per-channel status for a post to see which networks published it and which ones still need attention.
Open the supporting detail
Preview the copy and media for each selected network before publishing or scheduling.
Record the next action
The post shows the intended profiles, content, media, timing, and per-channel status. Save or assign the next step instead of treating the summary as proof that work is complete.
EXPECTED RESULT
What you should see when you finish
- The post shows the intended profiles, content, media, timing, and per-channel status.
- The page shows the client or location you intended to change or review.
- Any approval, publishing, or follow-up status is recorded separately from the draft.
If something does not look right
The option or data is missing
Check the selected scope, date range, account connection, and your permissions. Post types, media limits, analytics, and publishing controls differ by network and account connection.
The result does not match the source
Return to Social, confirm the source and checked date, then repeat the task with the same scope. Do not replace a missing value with zero or assume a submitted change is already live.
