There are several ways how you can start the post creation. For example, click on Create Post in the top bar menu or the blue New Post button in a specific time slot in the Calendar. Whichever you choose, you'll be directed to the post editor.
It is here where you upload the pictures from your desktop. Pick the desired ones or simply drag and drop them.
The image format should be .jpeg. Png format is not accepted.
Next, select the necessary pages.
If you select more than one social media platform, the image limit will differ. For example, if you pick Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest, you'll see one photo highlighted in blue to be used in Pinterest.
You can pick a different one within the uploaded images by tapping on the desired one.
