Publish now or schedule

At the bottom of the composer:

• Pick a time opens the schedule. The time uses the timezone in Settings.
• With no time chosen, the button says Post now.
• With a time chosen, the button says Schedule post.

Post now asks you to confirm. The post then goes out to every selected account.

Schedule post keeps the post as Scheduled until that time, then publishes it.

The button stays unavailable until the draft exists, at least one account is selected, and the caption and media pass that account’s limits.

After it is scheduled or sent, you can open it from Posts or from the calendar. The success message includes View in calendar.

A scheduled post can be opened and the time changed. Moving it inside the same month does not use a second monthly slot. Scheduling it into a later month counts against that later month.
