Edit, duplicate, or delete a post

A post is one item inside a section, like a single article, product, or event. Once a post is there, you can change it, copy it, rename its web address, or remove it. It's no trouble.

Before you start

You need to own the profile that holds the post. There's no plan or extra feature to unlock for this. If you can add posts, you can edit, copy, and delete them.

Opening a post to edit it

1. In the left sidebar, open the Content menu.
2. Choose the section that holds your post. This opens the section's list of posts.
3. In the list, click the post's name. The edit page opens with all of its fields.

You can also open the post from its row menu. Select the three dots at the end of the row, then choose Edit to open the edit page. In that same menu, Open is different: it takes you to the post's live page on your public profile, not the editor.

Change any field you want, then choose Save Changes at the top. The button reads "Saving..." for a moment, and a "Post updated." note confirms your work is saved.

Changing a post's web address (slug)

The web address of a post ends in its slug, the last part of the link, like /your-section/your-post. You can see it under the page title on the edit page.

1. Open the post to edit it.
2. Next to the address, select the pencil button. The slug turns into a text box.
3. Type the new slug. Use letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores only.
4. Choose Save Changes at the top to keep it.

Until you save, the new slug isn't live. The old address keeps working until then.

Making a copy of a post

A copy is a fast way to reuse a post you already built. The copy keeps your content and tags, but it starts hidden and gets its own web address, so it won't clash with the original.

1. Open the post to edit it.
2. At the top, select the three-dot menu.
3. Choose Duplicate.

You land on the new copy right away. Its name ends in "(Copy)", and it's not published yet. Rename it, change what you like, then save and publish when it's ready.

You can also copy a post from its row menu in the section's list. Open the row's three-dot menu and choose Duplicate.

Deleting a post you no longer want

1. Open the post to edit it.
2. At the top, select the three-dot menu.
3. Choose Delete.
4. A box asks "Are you sure you want to delete this post?" Confirm it.

The post is removed, you're taken back to the section's list, and a "Post deleted." note appears. The post stops showing on your live profile right away.

I deleted a post, can I get it back?

There's no undo button for a deleted post, and there's no trash list to restore it from. So delete only when you're sure.

If you might want a post later, don't delete it. Open it, turn off the Published switch in the sidebar, and save. The post stays in your section but is hidden from visitors. You can publish it again any time.

I clicked Duplicate from the edit page and nothing happened

Each plan allows a set number of posts. When you use Duplicate from the three-dot menu at the top of the edit page, and a copy would push you past that number, the copy isn't made. Right now there's no on-screen note about this, so it can look like the button did nothing.

To make room, delete a post you no longer need, then try the copy again. Or move to a plan with a higher limit. Your billing settings show the limit for each plan.

A quick way to tell you're at the limit: copy the post from its row menu in the section's list instead. That path always makes the copy, even when you're over the limit, so you'll get the new post right away.

My new slug won't save

Two things stop a slug from saving:

• The slug has characters it can't use. You'll see "The slug field must only contain letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores." Take out spaces and symbols, then save again.
• Another post in the same section already uses it. You'll see "The slug has already been taken." Pick a different slug and save again.

Fix the slug, choose Save Changes, and the address updates.
