Hi there, I have decided I need to become the sort of person who schedules posts rather than randomly posting when the inspiration strikes.
Unfortunately the reality is very different than I had hoped and I'm getting somewhat frustrated. I began by making a draft post. When I returned to it, it was gone. I guess I hadn't saved it although I did tick the save drafts bit.
I tried again, and saw no images I'd saved from my original attempt were anywhere to be found, so I had to upload them all again. Then I couldn't save the draft....so I tried again. This time I simply wrote 'Hello' and saved as if it was only going to be posted on facebook. I went in again and tried to add more social media. But I couldn't! I could only add one platform. So if not facebook, then Instagram. But not both.
I hoped that images from an earlier drafts which I had managed to save would be there as an option to re-use, but no. So I would need to go back into my photos and re-select again.
This is beginning to feel really hard and is the reason I have always abandoned social media scheduling in the past and gone back to spontaneity.
Can anyone help with why this is happening. I'm using Chrome.
Thank you,
Sam.
#New to Adobe express and having trouble scheduling a post.

Update. I think it may be because my Macbook is still operating on Catalina. I maybe need to upgrade before using Adobe Express which I'm not prepared to do right now. Ah well.....

Hey @glass steppe , I'm sorry to hear about this. There's a couple of things to unpack here. First, would you mind trying to save a draft post again - does this work for you?
If you can save a draft and you want to schedule it for a different platform, you can simple edit the post and change the channel it's destined for.
If you'd like to then take this post and repurpose it for more social channels, you can open the post, press 'More' and then duplicate the post and select multiple channels.
Regarding the images, I'd suggest uploading any media you want to use in the Adobe Express editor and then when you go to schedule these posts, the media will be there for you to select from.
I hope this helps, but do let me know how you get on - I don't think these will be contingent on your OS.

Hi Andy, do you mean I create copies of identical posts all scheduled for the same time, but each going to a different platform?
