Publish a post immediately, or pick a slot and let Rheos send it for you. A scheduled post waits in the queue until its time, then goes out to every network selected on it.

​
Schedule a post

1

Finish the post

Write it in the editor, then select Preview to check how it lands on each network.
2

Select Schedule

On the preview screen, Post now and Schedule sit side by side. Schedule opens the calendar. (Post now does not publish on the first select — see publishing immediately below.)
3

Pick a date and a slot

Pick a day, then a time. The picker offers half-hour slots from 08:00 to 21:30 — those are the only times you can pick from the editor.
4

Confirm

Select Confirm. The post moves to its scheduled state, and the editor gives way to the read-only summary described below.
Times are read in your browser’s timezone. Rheos has no account-level timezone setting, so if you’re working away from home, check what the slot means before you confirm.

​
Publishing immediately instead

Post now takes two selects, not one. The Post now button on the preview screen doesn’t send anything — it switches the editor to a confirmation view listing the accounts the post is going to. A second button, also labelled Post now, sits at the bottom of that view, and that is the one that publishes. Until you select it, nothing has left Rheos. You’ll know it worked: the button shows a spinner and a “Publishing to N platforms…” message appears, then the editor drops back to the preview screen with the post marked as publishing.
Changed your mind on the confirmation view? Select ← Preview to back out. Nothing is sent.

​
Where scheduled posts live

Scheduled posts appear on your Home dashboard under Content Plan. Select the calendar icon next to New post to switch that panel to a full Content Calendar month grid. From the calendar you can drag a post onto a different day. That opens a Schedule post dialog, where you can pick any hour — still on the hour or the half hour — and where Rheos warns you if another scheduled post is already hitting the same channel at that hour.

​
Editing a scheduled post

Open a scheduled post and you don’t get the editor. You get a read-only summary: the heading Scheduled, the date and time it’s going out (“Fri 8 Aug at 14:30”), and a Posting to card listing the accounts it’s aimed at. You can’t type into the body from here. The actions sit in a row underneath:
  • Reschedule — reopens the calendar on the existing time so you can move it. The post stays scheduled the whole way through.
  • Edit post — unschedules the post and drops you into the editor. It goes back to draft (“Unscheduled for editing”), and you’ll need to schedule it again afterwards.
  • Cancel schedule — has the same effect as Edit post: the post is unscheduled and moves back to drafts (“Unscheduled — moved back to draft”). The wording differs, the outcome doesn’t.
  • Back to home — leaves the post exactly as it is and returns you to the dashboard.
Edit post and Cancel schedule both cost you the slot. If all you want is a different time, use Reschedule.

​
How publishing runs

At the scheduled time, Rheos sends the post to each connected network on it. The networks are independent: if one fails — an expired connection, a rejected image — the rest still go out. The post lands as partial, with the error recorded against the network that failed. See publishing troubleshooting for what to do next.
A scheduled post sends your hashtag list exactly as written — unlike Post now, which trims it to each network’s cap first. Instagram rejects a caption carrying more than 30 hashtags, so keep the list at or under 30 (and under 20 if Pinterest is selected) before you schedule. See per-platform variations.
Connect a new account after scheduling a post and that post won’t pick it up. Open the post, select Edit post to unschedule it, add the network, then schedule it again.
Two things will stop Confirm working. Copy over a selected network’s character limit greys the button out — the red pill in the editor names which network. A network that needs media on a post with none attached lets you select, then refuses with “Instagram needs an image or video”. Fix either in the editor and come back. Need help?
