If you manage a Facebook page and want to create a schedule of content that will be shared over the course of the coming days, weeks, or months, then you can either access Facebook’s integrated scheduling tool or a third party site like Loomly.
Of course, the process of editing a post that has been confirmed for scheduling, varies depending on the platform that you use. In this article, we’re sharing the process of editing a post on Facebook itself.
3 Steps to Edit a Post for Your Page
- First you need to head into the page that you manage and are scheduling content for, then select ‘Meta Business Suite’
- Select ‘Planner’ from the dropdown list of Business Suite options, and find the scheduled post that you want to edit and change
- From within the post, you can select ‘Edit’ to change the text and caption, the content that’s linked to the post, or the date and time of scheduling
Of course, there’s nothing to say that you can’t also edit posts once they have been posted. The only things you can’t change about a post after it has been shared are the visuals – anything in the caption can be changed as required!
Why Use a Scheduling Tool?
If you’re reading this and wondering what exactly the benefit of scheduling Facebook posts is, then consider the number of posts you see from a page on a daily or regular basis.
Social media content creation, sharing, and engagement is a full time job of sorts, demanding a great deal of time. It also means being online at the right time for your audience and knowing exactly when and what to post for different audience types.
Scheduling is a tool that’s valued by those who are time-poor but want to retain a level of consistency in their content calendar. It means that content can be created and inputted ahead of schedule and designated an ideal time for posting – leaving the creator free to focus on other things.
So, what are you waiting for? Give Facebook scheduling a try – and don’t be afraid to jump back into a post and edit it should you need to, later down the line.
