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 the platform it’s for.

​
Schedule a post

1

Finish the post

Write it in the editor. Save draft, Post now and Schedule sit at the bottom of the post.
2

Select Schedule

Schedule opens a small calendar beside the button. (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

The button at the bottom of the calendar now reads Schedule with your day and time. Select it and the post moves to its scheduled state, with the read-only summary described below.
A post that fills a slot in your plan is already planned for a day and time. The button then reads Schedule for Sat 09:00 and schedules there in one tap. Other time opens the picker instead, with the slot’s day ringed. If the slot’s time has passed, the button shows the next time that still works. Picking a day outside the slot’s week says so first, and that slot opens again in your plan.
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 first Post now doesn’t send anything — it switches the editor to a confirmation view listing the accounts the post is going to under Posting 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.
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, beside the open slots from your posting plan. Schedule week there schedules every planned post on its day in one go. See your dashboard. 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 on the hour or the half hour. 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. 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 cancel the schedule. A post that fills a slot in your plan keeps that slot’s day as a draft, but any other post loses its time. If all you want is a different time, use Reschedule.
Archiving a scheduled post cancels its schedule first, so it won’t go out. See deleting and archiving.

​
How publishing runs

At the scheduled time, Rheos sends the post to each connected account on it. On a Meta post, Instagram and Facebook go out independently: if one fails — an expired connection, a rejected image — the other still goes out. The post lands as Partially published, with the error recorded against the account that failed. See publishing troubleshooting for what to do next.
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 Schedule and Post now 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.

​
The media check

Before you schedule or publish a post, Rheos checks its media once against each platform you picked. Rheos stops a post that can’t go out now, instead of letting it fail at its time. It blocks what the platform can’t take, such as a file over its size limit or more items than it accepts. The buttons grey out with the reason in the banner above them. Rheos only warns about media that would post with something left out or changed. Examples include extra images that won’t go out, a video over the length limit or a ratio the platform will crop. Warnings show in the same banner and don’t stop you. Rheos can only check what it knows about a file, so a size, length or ratio it hasn’t recorded isn’t checked. Need help?
