Step 1
Open the publish modal
Open a content item that already has platform post drafts. In the Posts panel, click the publish icon on the draft you want to start with. DoroSocial opens the publish modal with that platform preselected.

Publish or schedule platform posts in DoroSocial
Use the publish modal to publish one platform draft, select multiple drafts, or schedule selected posts for later.
This guide starts after you already have platform post drafts. If you still need to create drafts first, start with Create platform-specific posts.

Start from drafts
Publish and schedule actions apply to platform post drafts, not the source content item by itself.
One modal, two actions
The same modal handles immediate publishing and scheduling after you select the drafts.
Review first
Confirm the platform, target account, visibility, media state, and schedule before saving.
Step 2
Publish one draft or select more
The clicked platform starts selected. Keep one platform selected if you only want to act on that draft, or use Select all to publish or schedule every unpublished draft for the item.
Step 3
Review platform settings
Before publishing or scheduling, review the settings for each selected platform. Some platforms need title, description, visibility, target account, disclosures, or other platform-specific fields before the action is available.
If a button is disabled, a selected platform usually still needs a required setting, a valid connected account, or available source media.
Step 4
Schedule with one shared time
Click Schedule when you want DoroSocial to publish later. By default, one scheduled time applies to every selected platform.
Step 5
Confirm the schedule
After choosing the time, DoroSocial shows a confirmation list with the platform, target account, and scheduled time. Confirm only after the list matches what you expect.
Important notes
What to check before publishing
Source media must be available
Video posts need the source media file at publish time. If DoroSocial says the source media is missing or expired, re-upload the source before publishing or scheduling.
Connected accounts matter
Each selected platform needs a valid connected account. Some platforms also require a target page, channel, board, profile, or visibility setting.
Select all means unpublished drafts
Select all includes unpublished platform drafts for the item. Already published or processing posts are not treated as normal draft targets.
TikTok scheduling is separate
TikTok drafts can be published when ready, but this modal currently blocks TikTok scheduling.
Questions
Common questions about publishing and scheduling
Can I publish only one platform post?
Yes. Click the publish icon on that platform draft and leave only that draft selected in the modal.
Can I publish or schedule all platform drafts at once?
Yes. Use Select all in the publish modal to include every unpublished platform draft for the content item.
Can different platforms use different scheduled times?
Yes. In the schedule step, turn on Post different time for a platform when that platform should use a different time from the shared schedule.
Does scheduling publish immediately?
No. Scheduling saves the platform post as scheduled. DoroSocial publishes later at the selected time when the platform connection and source media are still valid.
Can TikTok posts be scheduled from this modal?
Not currently. DoroSocial blocks TikTok scheduling in this flow, so TikTok drafts must be published manually when ready.
Next step
After a post is published or scheduled, check the post status in the Posts panel or dashboard list.
