Publish is the main SocialBu area for creating, scheduling, queuing, approving, and reviewing social media posts.

What you can do in Publish

  • Create and publish posts immediately.

  • Schedule posts for a future date and time.

  • Add posts to queues so they publish at preset time slots.

  • Save unfinished posts as drafts.

  • Customize content for different selected platforms.

  • Submit posts for approval when team approvals are enabled.

  • Review scheduled and published posts in Calendar and History.

  • Bulk import posts from a CSV file.

Before you start

  • Connect the social accounts you want to publish to.

  • Reconnect inactive or disconnected accounts before scheduling important posts.

  • Check that you have permission to create, edit, approve, or publish posts for the selected workspace or team.

  • Confirm your workspace or team timezone before scheduling posts.

  • Prepare media that matches the selected platform's requirements.

Main Publish sections

  • Post Composer: Create posts, attach media, customize per platform, and choose publish/schedule/queue/draft/approval options.

  • Scheduled Posts: Review upcoming scheduled content.

  • Queues: Publish posts automatically using preset queue time slots.

  • Drafts: Save unfinished posts for later editing.

  • Awaiting Approval: Review posts waiting for team approval.

  • Calendar: View scheduled, draft, awaiting approval, and published content in a calendar layout.

  • History: Review posts published through SocialBu.

  • Bulk Import: Upload many posts from a CSV file.

Troubleshooting tips

  • If an account is missing from the composer, check whether it is active and available to your team permissions.

  • If a post fails, check the exact error message, media requirements, account permissions, and platform-specific limits.

  • If a queue post does not publish, check that the queue is active, has time slots, and includes the right accounts.
