Explains how to configure post content on the "Create Post" screen.

tip

The content you can post varies depending on the SNS. For details, please refer to Postable Content.

Check Post Preview (Browser Version Only)

On the right side of the "Create Post" screen, post previews for "Smartphone" and "Desktop" are displayed respectively.

You can switch between and check the respective previews by clicking the "Smartphone icon" or "Desktop icon" in the upper right corner of the screen.

About X Media Post Previews

X (Twitter) sometimes selects complex areas as thumbnails due to image recognition. Since SocialDog mechanically crops the center, the thumbnail display may differ from the actual post screen.

Select SNS Accounts for Posting

• You can select SNS accounts to post to by choosing them from the top.

Post Simultaneously to Multiple SNS Accounts

• You can select multiple SNS destinations.
  • Only one X (Twitter) account can be selected. This is because X (Twitter) rules prohibit posting identical content to multiple accounts.
• When multiple SNS accounts are selected, a "Common" tab will appear.
  • You can enter common post content for all accounts in the "Common" tab.
  • The content entered in "Common" will be reflected in all accounts.
• To change the post content for each account:
  • Click the tab for each account to change the post content.
  • If you change the content in an individual account's tab, the content of the "Common" tab will no longer be reflected, and a red ● icon will appear in the upper right of the account's icon.
  • Clicking "Restore Common Content" will revert to reflecting the content of the "Common" tab.

If there is an error in the post content

If there is an error in the text or image/video content, a warning icon will be displayed on the SNS account tab.

You cannot post with errors present. You can add to drafts regardless of whether there are errors.

Attach Media such as Images and Videos

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

• Click the "Image icon"
• Drag and drop images into the form
• Copy the image to the clipboard and paste it while the form is open

tip

• For information on supported media formats, please refer to Postable Content.
• If multiple images are attached, they will be posted in the order they were added.
• You can change the posting order by dragging and dropping images.
