How do I review, approve and publish posts?
Every post an Agent drafts waits under Content until you approve it. Edit the caption, hashtags and media, set or change the schedule, approve, and it publishes at the time you set — or press Publish.
Find the post
Open Content in the sidebar. Posts list newest first; filter by platform or by status — Pending, Approved, Published, Failed — and page through 10, 20 or 50 at a time.
Edit it
- Caption, hashtags and call-to-action — edit in place and save. YouTube posts also have a title.
- Media — replace it with an upload, pick something from the Media Library with the photo-library icon, or remove it. Removing media from a post doesn't delete it from the library.
- Format — switch an Instagram post between a single image, video and carousel, or a Facebook post between a single image and a carousel. Carousels let you add, remove and reorder slides, and take 2 to 10; a Facebook carousel is images only.
Check a LinkedIn PDF post
A LinkedIn post with a PDF attached (added with PDF Document on the post card) shows the document's pages on its card, one at a time. Click the arrows to go through them, with the page number in the corner, and Open PDF to see the file itself.
Schedule, approve, publish
- Set or change the scheduled time with the date picker and save.
- Approve the post. It publishes at the scheduled time.
- Or press Publish. The status changes to Published once the platform confirms, and a live link appears that opens the real post.
Give a pending post a planned date
Preparing posts for a client to approve? Give each one the date it's meant to go out, so your client sees it too.
- In Review Posts, filter to Pending and find the post.
- Press Edit next to Planned time, pick a date and time, and press Save.
- The post shows Planned: … · goes out once approved. Nothing is published yet.
When the post is approved, its planned time becomes its schedule. If that time has already passed by then, Sagelyn asks first: Publish now, or Pick a new time and it's approved and scheduled for the new time. Nothing goes out late without you knowing.
Get a client's approval
Select several posts and choose Generate Review Link. Share the link; it opens a page that shows exactly those posts, one card each: the platform, when it's scheduled, the image or video, and the caption with its call to action and hashtags. Carousels have slides to click through, and a long caption scrolls inside its card. The page is for looking: there is no approving from the link. Your client needs their own login on the Brand to approve the posts.
Expire or revoke a review link
A review link expires. By default it stops working 7 days after the last post in it is due to go out, or 7 days after you create it if nothing in it is scheduled for later. The link card shows the exact date and time. To stop a link sooner, press Revoke link; the page stops working straight away.
Shared review links, in Review Posts, lists every link you've shared for the Brand with its status (Active, Expired or Revoked), when it was created, when it expires and how many posts it holds. From there you can copy a link or revoke an active one.
Delete a post
Deleting removes the post from Sagelyn only. If it's already published, it stays on the platform — Sagelyn warns you of that before it deletes.
Why can't I approve a post?
Most likely it has no media. Approving a post with nothing attached asks you to confirm first, since a text-only post is rarely what you meant. Add an image from the Media Library or replace the media, then approve.
The YouTube post won't publish.
YouTube requires two settings before publishing: a privacy status (public, unlisted or private) and the Made for Kids answer. Set both on the post and it publishes.
If I delete a post in Sagelyn, does it come down from Instagram?
No. Deleting removes it from Sagelyn's records only — you'll see a warning saying so. Remove it on the platform itself if you need it gone there.
Can a client approve posts without logging in?
No. Select the posts and choose Generate Review Link to share a page that shows them, but approving needs their own login on the Brand.
How long does a review link last?
By default 7 days after the last post in it is due to go out, or 7 days after you create it if nothing in it is scheduled for later. The link card shows the exact date and time.
I shared a review link by mistake. Can I stop it?
Yes. Press Revoke link on the link card, or Revoke next to the link in Shared review links under Review Posts. The page stops working straight away.
Does a planned time publish the post?
No. A pending post with a planned time waits until it's approved. When it's approved, the planned time becomes its schedule. If the time has passed by then, Sagelyn asks whether to publish now or pick a new time.
