Just like glancing in the mirror before a night out or important meeting, previewing your social media posts ensures they're ready to shine! ✨

Let's explore how to review your posts before you hit "Publish" or "Schedule", to make sure they're free of typos or awkwardly cropped images.

It's all about engaging your audience with flawless content! βœ’οΈ


How to preview posts

OK, let's face it: who among us hasn't accidentally scheduled a "Happy Monday!" post on a Tuesday, or made a similar mistake? 🀦

And while slip-ups like this might give your followers a chuckle, it's not always a professional look.

So, to preview your social media posts before publishing or scheduling them with NapoleonCat's Publisher, you need to:

  1. Create a post in NapoleonCat or edit an existing one as you normally would

  2. Add all the elements you'd have for going live: pictures, videos, reels, catchy captions, descriptions, links - make it perfect!

  3. Glance to the right of the post-creation window, where the preview is already visible:
