Edit Category Queue Social Posts

Michael O'Rourke
Need the ability to edit existing posts in a category queue. Currently, you have to go a really long-winded way in order to edit a post (delete & recreate).
For example, If you spot a typo in a post that has gone out, you should just be able to jump onto the category queue, make the edit, and it will be fine going forward.
Even viewing the posts that are inside of a category queue is difficult...
I'd say look at SocialBees setup for examples of this.

CATEGORY QUEUE miss a couple of necessary feature

First of all great that you guys implemented the evergreen contents post lists!
A couple of things are really missing:
1) When a category queue is created its required to create every single post manually while should be very helpful to have the option to upload a csv file (the old csv template its perfect - the software should just ignore the time to post (first column) and keep content and image/video/gif urls)
2) Once a categori its queued - even if paused there is no chance to edit the posts

Thank you for reaching out to me via email regarding improving the category queue editing - Please see my notes (Also sent back via email)
Editing and Managing Category Queue Posts
- Edit posts within a category queue without needing to delete and recreate them (e.g. fixing typos).
- Easily view all posts inside a category queue.
- Reorder posts inside a queue (e.g. drag and drop).
- Clone posts within a queue to quickly create variations.
- Change the schedule/frequency of an existing queue after it’s created.
- See the full list of posts and the schedule within each queue for transparency.
- Edit the scheduled date/time for category queues post-creation.
- Prioritise new posts properly without causing double-posting issues.
- Improve overall UX for queue management
- Allow editing of queued posts that have already been published, so changes apply going forward.
Queue Scheduling Improvements
- Allow fixed posting schedules (e.g. 9:05 am and 4:47 pm daily).
- Introduce rotating queues.
- Allow temporary pauses when a manual “post once” is scheduled, then resume automatically.
- Add posts to the front or end of a queue without rescheduling everything.
- Enable drag-and-drop reordering on the calendar view.
- Allow bi-weekly to monthly queue schedules.
- Allow to pause a category completely.
General Feedback / UX
- Remove arbitrary limits like not being able to edit queue schedules after creation.
- Provide more visibility and control over how new posts interact with queues.
- Make the entire queue management process less manual and time-consuming.

What Michael O'Rourke says here is right on target.
I just had a great conversation with Akansha Simran. What is proposed for release this quarter is going to get us well down the path to a great feature!

Posting Schedule + Content Queue
R

Instead of requiring me to schedule a specific time for my post to go live, allow me to set a posting schedule (e.g., 9:05am and 4:47pm).
Then, I can add posts to a rotating queue and as soon as the next post time arrives, the next post in the queue will be published. When the end of the queue is reached, the rotation restarts.
Over time, as I add more content to the queue, the time between reposts gets longer and longer.
If I intentionally schedule a specific "post once" post to go up near 9:05 am tomorrow, the queue is paused until the next posting slot.

Add to Post to Queue

Be able to add posts to a "queue" (either to front of queue or end of queue) in conjunction with scheduled posts - so that if you have to add in a post same day last minute and you only want 1 post/ day you do not have to manually reschedule ALL of your posts - instead, you can add it to a "list or tag list" and queue those types of posts (ex: Mondays post items tagged "home goods" Tuesdays to post "pets" and so on.) you should be able to get to these lists and drag and drop to reorder them or reorder them on the calendar view.

Few other thoughts pertaining to this...
- Canva allows you to resize images into mobile video. We like to create an image and video version of posts to quickly scale and repurpose content. Would like to stagger them. for example, one week the image post goes out, the next week the video post goes out. The text/copy of the posts are essentially the same. Currently, there's no option to have category ques go out bi-weekly only weekly. So, separate category ques for video and image posts like this wouldn't work.
- Another idea is to have the ability to clone posts inside a que to replace the image with a video version quickly instead of a daunting copy and paste process.
- Would prefer not to have to have multiple category ques for essentially the same content to make Social Media Management easier.
Thanks in advance. Love what you're all doing. Apologies if we are overlooking a simple solution.

"2. Can the category queue be edited to update the scheduled date and time?
The scheduled date and time can be planned at the category queue creation time, it cannot be edited at a later point of time."
Why impose this limit on the users?

How do I edit a post that has been added to category queue? I need to remove watermark.
It should be possible to change the queue schedule. A very simple example, you realize it is scheduled for morning and the intel 2 or 3 months later informs you that it should be afternoon. Change frequency/timing.

When Prioritize New Content is on but new posts must be published to be activated that would mean it will be double posted when each new post goes live.

Yes, this is absolutely necessary. At the very least, we need to be able to see what is in a queue once created and the schedule that was set up for it. The only way to make any changes or know what the queue has in it is to delete and restart, which completely gets rid of any post edits you might have done when setting it up. Right now my team has to rely on manually tracking this information in documents, and it's very tedious.
