Publishing statuses explained

Draft: The post has been saved but not scheduled or published. You can edit it freely.

Scheduled: The post is queued for a future publish time. It is locked from editing until it publishes or you explicitly reschedule it.

Publishing: The post is actively being sent to platforms. This state usually lasts only a few seconds.

Published: The post was successfully sent to all selected platforms. Each platform result is recorded separately.

Failed: One or more platforms could not be published to. See the section below for how to handle failures.

A post can be "Published" on some platforms and "Failed" on others. For example, if your Instagram token has expired, Instagram will fail while LinkedIn and Twitter succeed. The overall post status reflects the worst outcome — if any platform fails, the post is marked Failed.

Open the post to see the per-platform breakdown. Platforms that succeeded show a green tick. Failed platforms show the specific error message returned by that platform's API.

From the post detail view, click "Retry Failed Platforms". Postprism will attempt to re-publish only to the platforms that failed. Platforms that already published successfully are not re-sent.

Fix the underlying issue first (expired token, oversized media, platform outage) before retrying, or the retry will fail for the same reason.
