This document explains how to configure post content on the "Create Post" screen.

Check Post Previews (Browser version only)

On the right side of the "Create Post" screen, you will see post previews for both "Smartphone" and "Desktop".

Click the "Smartphone icon" or "Desktop icon" in the top right corner of the screen to switch between and view the respective previews.

About X Media Post Preview

Due to X (Twitter)'s image recognition, complex areas may be selected as thumbnails. Since SocialDog mechanically crops the center, the thumbnail display may differ from the actual post screen.

Select Destination Social Media Accounts

• Select social media accounts from the top to choose your destination accounts.

Cross-posting to Multiple Social Media Accounts Simultaneously

• You can select multiple social media destinations.
  • Only one X (Twitter) account can be selected. This is because X (Twitter) rules prohibit posting identical content to multiple accounts.
• When multiple social media accounts are selected, a "Common" tab will appear.
  • You can input common post content for all accounts in the "Common" tab.
  • Content entered in the "Common" tab will be applied to all accounts.
• To change post content for individual accounts:
  • Click on each account's tab to modify its post content.
  • If you change content in an individual account's tab, the content from the "Common" tab will no longer be applied, and a red dot icon will appear on the top right of the account's icon.
  • Click "Restore Common Content" to revert to applying the "Common" tab's content.

If there is an error in the post content

If there is an error in the text, image, or video content, a warning icon will appear on the social media account tab.

Posts cannot be published if they contain errors. Regardless of errors, content can be added to drafts.

Attach Media such as Images and Videos

You can attach and post media such as images and videos. Media can be attached using the following methods:

• Click the "image icon"
• Drag and drop images into the form
• Paste images while the form is open, after copying them to the clipboard
