Accessing the Curate Feature
To begin, log in to your SocialBu account and navigate to the Curate section from the left sidebar. Here, you can browse a collection of curated articles. Use the filters on the right to refine results by topic or time range—for example, selecting articles from the "last 7 days" or based on keywords.
Selecting and Copying an Article Link
Once you've found an article you want to share, locate the Share button beneath it. Click the small downward arrow next to the Share button to open a dropdown menu. Then, select Copy Link to copy the article’s URL to your clipboard.
Adding the Article Link to Your Post
Now go to New Post and the link will be copied directly into the text box. SocialBu will automatically fetch and display a rich preview of the article.
Previewing Article Content
When you paste an article link into the post composer, SocialBu automatically fetches a preview of the article. This preview includes the title, image, and meta description (when available), giving your audience a clear idea of the content they’re about to click on. This makes your posts more visually appealing and engaging.
