Homesync makes it easy to plan, schedule, and publish content across all major social networks without juggling multiple apps. If you’re new to the platform, understanding the publishing workflow will help you maximize productivity and get the most out of your social media strategy. This article covers each step of the publishing process—from drafts to approval to final posting.
Understanding the Publishing Dashboard
The Publishing dashboard is the central control center for all outgoing content. It includes:
- Drafts
- Scheduled Posts
- Publishing Groups
- Content Calendar View
- Post History
This layout allows users to see everything in one place, making planning easy and removing the guesswork from campaign management.
Creating and Saving Drafts
Drafts allow users to start ideas without needing to publish immediately. With Homesync’s editor, you can:
- Add captions
- Upload images or attach videos
- Generate A.I. copy using Thuzzle
- Save multiple versions for review
- Set tags and categories
Drafts remain accessible to team members based on their role permissions, ensuring smooth collaboration.
Using Publishing Groups for Efficiency
Publishing Groups help manage multiple profiles at once. Instead of creating separate posts for each client or channel, you can build content for a full group and then customize variations if needed.
This is especially useful for:
- Agencies managing multiple clients
- Brands with regional pages
- Teams that run several linked profiles
Publishing Groups reduce repetitive work and keep campaigns uniform.
Scheduling and Publishing Posts
Once your content is ready, Homesync offers two options:
- Publish Now – send the post immediately
- Schedule – choose a future time and date
The scheduling feature is incredibly powerful. It helps you plan:
- Weekly content calendars
- Product launch cycles
- Seasonal campaigns
- High-engagement posting times
Homesync automatically posts at the selected time, ensuring consistent activity even when your team is offline.
Approval Workflows: Roles and Permissions
Every team member has a defined role:
- Creator – prepares drafts
- Editor – enhances content
- Manager – approves
- Publisher – publishes or schedules
This system prevents unauthorized posting and maintains brand quality.
Managing Media and Videos
Homesync supports a structured Media Library where users can upload, label, and categorize media files. The YouTube publishing feature also allows video uploads directly through the platform, eliminating the need to switch between applications.
Tracking Published Content
After publishing, Homesync stores all posts in the History tab. Teams can review:
- Past campaigns
- Engagement performance
- Media usage
- Posting times
This archival system is especially helpful for agencies that need to report activity to clients.
