Post States
When managing your content calendar in Statusbrew, posts can exist in different states. Each state gives you a clear picture of where the post stands in the publishing process.
Here’s what each one means
Post State | Details |
Scheduled | - Reached when you click Schedule after selecting date and time in Compose - Visible in All Posts - Automatically moves to Upload In Progress at the scheduled time Note: If approver(s) are selected, the post moves to Needs Approval instead. |
Upload In Progress | - Reached when the scheduled time hits and Statusbrew sends the publish request to the social channel. - Visible in All Posts - Remains in this state until the post is published. |
Published | - Reached after the post is successfully published. - Visible in All Posts - Final state—no further action required. |
Draft | - Reached when you select Save as draft in Compose - Visible in the Drafts section of All Posts - Remains in this state until you edit and schedule or send for approval. Note: If a date & time is set and passes, the draft is marked Expired |
Needs Approval | - Reached when approver(s) are added and you click Send for approval - Visible in the Needs Approval section of All Posts (for approvers) - Remains in this state until approved or rejected. |
