How to manage drafts and bulk-edit posts

Why use Drafts

Keeping posts in Drafts before scheduling gives you two key advantages:

Bulk editing: update captions or media across multiple posts at once
Flexibility: posts stay editable until you're ready to publish, so you're not stuck making changes one by one

Available posting actions

When creating a post, you can choose to:

Recommended workflow

Create your posts and select Save as Draft
In your Drafts folder, make bulk edits to captions and media, and finalize approvals while everything stays editable
Once content is approved and ready, move posts from Drafts to Schedule, Queue, or Post Now

Editing after scheduling

Once posts are scheduled, they're no longer in Drafts and must be edited individually.

If you need to update multiple scheduled posts at once, the fastest path is:

To delete scheduled posts, select the posts you want to remove and select the delete icon.

Viewing published posts

Go to Archives to browse past and published content.

Best practices

Keep posts in Drafts while content is being reviewed or revised
Only schedule posts once captions, media, and approvals are locked in — individual edits to scheduled posts take more time
Need the same caption across many posts? Apply it in Drafts while you can still bulk-edit
