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.
