# Managing your posts How to use the Posts area in Wren — switch views, put drafts on your calendar, schedule, publish, arm auto-publish, recover past-due posts, add a LinkedIn link, and use version history. Everything you write lives in the **Posts** area. It's where a post travels from idea to published. ## Three ways to view your posts You can see the same posts in three layouts. **Table** is the default; **Calendar** and **Board** are saved views you add with **\+ New view** (picking the Calendar or Board layout), then switch between from the view bar: - **Table** (the default) — a sortable, filterable list with columns for title, status, date, and more. - **Calendar** — a month grid showing each post on its day: drafts you've given a day, scheduled posts, and published ones. Posts without a day sit in a sidebar; drag one onto a day to place it. - **Board** — a kanban board with columns for New, Drafted, Scheduled, Past due, and Published. Drag a card between columns to change its status. Dragging into **Scheduled** always opens the Schedule dialog, so you choose the time and how it goes out, and dragging into **Published** opens the publish step rather than posting instantly. ## The Pillar column If your plan includes content pillars, the Posts table carries a **Pillar** column showing which of your buckets each post belongs to. Click a cell to change it, or tick several rows and use **Set pillar** to move them together. You can also filter the table by pillar to see everything in one theme at a time. A pillar you set here is final — Wren won't relabel it later. Setting up your pillars and how Wren assigns them are covered in [Content pillars](/content/help/content-pillars/index.html). ## Post statuses and how they change Each post carries one status: - **New** — created but not yet drafted. - **Draft** — has content, not scheduled. A draft can still have a day on your calendar. - **Scheduled** — you've scheduled it for a future time, and chosen whether Wren publishes it or reminds you. - **Published** — live on LinkedIn. - **Past Due** — its scheduled time passed but it never went live. Giving a post a day doesn't schedule it. A post becomes Scheduled only when you schedule it; publish it (or mark it published) and it becomes Published. You can also change status directly from the status dropdown in a post's side panel, the inline Status cell, or by dragging on the board. ## Drafts on your calendar You can put a draft on a day before it's ready to go out. It shows on the calendar as an outlined card marked **Draft**, and in its side panel under **Date**. A draft on your calendar: - Doesn't publish, and doesn't send a reminder. - Doesn't count toward your writing goal. Only scheduled and published posts do. - Keeps its day until you move it or click **Remove from calendar** in its side panel. Scheduled posts look different: a filled card showing the time and how the post goes out. Cards with a **dashed** outline are Wren's suggestions, not your posts. They come from [Plan mode](/content/help/plan-mode/index.html), which fills the open days in your plan from your own ideas and sources. A suggestion isn't a post until you click **Write this**. **Dragging onto a day.** Drop a post that already has text onto a day and Wren asks what you want: - **Auto-publish to LinkedIn** at the time you pick. - **Remind me to post it** at that time. - **Keep it as a draft on this day** — nothing is scheduled; the button reads **Add as draft**. A post with no text yet goes straight onto the day as a draft, since there's nothing to schedule. You can put a draft on today or any later day. Dragging a post that's already on the calendar to another day moves it and leaves its status as it was. **Missed drafts.** If a draft's day passes before you schedule or publish it, its card turns amber and reads **Missed · Draft**. Click **Move to next open day** to move it to the next weekday that has nothing on it. It stays a draft. **Unscheduling keeps the day.** If you move a scheduled post back to Draft, it stays on its day as a draft and Wren switches off auto-publish for it. Schedule it again when it's ready. ## Scheduling a post Open a post and click the **Schedule** button (or drag the card into the Scheduled column on the board). If the post is already on your calendar as a draft, the dialog opens on that day. Pick a date and time **and** decide what happens when that moment arrives: - **Auto-publish to LinkedIn** — Wren posts to LinkedIn for you, no action needed. This option is available when LinkedIn is connected. - **Remind me to post it** — Wren sends you a Telegram message when it's time, and you publish it yourself. When LinkedIn is connected, auto-publish is the default selection. You can switch between the two options any time by reopening the Schedule dialog. A post needs text before it can be scheduled, and the time has to be in the future. To take a post off the calendar completely, click **Remove schedule** in the dialog or **Remove from calendar** in the side panel. It goes back to being a draft with no day. ## Publishing manually Open the post and click **Publish**. Confirm in the "Publish to LinkedIn?" dialog and Wren posts it to your profile. You'll need your LinkedIn account connected first; if it isn't, the button reads **Connect to publish**. Note that Wren attaches only the **first** image on a post to LinkedIn — if a post has more than one image, auto-publish is blocked, so publish it manually. ## Auto-publish: what to know When a post is scheduled with auto-publish on, Wren publishes it at the scheduled time with no manual step. A few things worth knowing: - If the attempt at the scheduled time hits a **temporary** LinkedIn glitch, Wren retries automatically — up to 3 attempts over about 10 minutes — and tells you it's retrying. If the problem is permanent, Wren stops and notifies you: the post stays Scheduled with an error note. - Auto-publish needs your LinkedIn connection to stay valid. That connection expires periodically, so reconnect LinkedIn when Wren prompts you to keep unattended publishing working. ## Recovering a Past Due post A Past Due post means the scheduled time came and went without publishing. To fix it, either mark it **Published** or reschedule it to a new time. ## Adding the LinkedIn link (optional, unlocks analytics) When you mark a post Published, Wren asks for the URL of the live LinkedIn post. This is **optional** — you can skip it and add it later — but the link is what lets Wren track that post's analytics. Until you add it, analytics won't be tracked. ## Version history As you edit, draft with AI, or revise through chat, Wren keeps a history. Open the post's editor and expand **Version History** to see each saved version with its timestamp and source. Click **Revert** on any entry to restore that version.
