Facebook Publishing is where you compose, publish, or schedule posts to your connected Facebook Page, and manage saved drafts and upcoming scheduled posts.
Compose a Text post, Photo post, or Video post via the Post Type selector (video posts can be drafted but cannot be published yet)
Upload a photo (JPEG, PNG, WEBP) or video (MP4, MOV) file for the post
Add an optional Link on text posts
Write the post’s Message / Caption
Choose When to publish: Publish now or Schedule for later, picking a date and time between 10 minutes and 75 days from now
Publish the post immediately, or schedule it, via the Publish / Schedule button
Save the current composition as a draft with Save Draft, without publishing it
Reopen a saved draft for editing (pencil icon) or delete it (trash icon) from the Saved Drafts tab
View Upcoming Scheduled posts pulled live from the connected Facebook Page, with their scheduled time and a message preview
Refresh the scheduled posts list
See a live Publishing State panel that tracks the current step (Ready, Publishing…, Scheduling…, Published successfully, Scheduled successfully, or Publishing failed) and shows the resulting post ID once published or scheduled
See stat tiles for the number of Upcoming Scheduled posts, Saved Drafts, and the name of the Connected Page
Choose a Post Type: Text post, Photo post, or Video post. Video posts can only be saved as a draft — publishing is not available yet.
For Photo or Video posts, click the upload area (or the Upload button) to choose a file.
For Text posts, optionally add a Link.
Write the Message / Caption.
Under When to publish, choose Publish now or Schedule for later. If scheduling, set a Schedule date & time — it must be at least 10 minutes ahead and within 75 days.
Click Publish (or Schedule) to send the post to Facebook. The Publishing State panel shows progress and, once done, the resulting post ID.
To finish later, click Save Draft at any point. Drafts are kept per connected channel.
See the posts Meta will publish in the future, pulled live from your Page with their scheduled time and a message preview.
Click Refresh to pull the latest list from Facebook.
See all drafts for this channel.
Click the pencil icon on a draft to load it back into the composer, or the trash icon to delete it.
Scheduling requires the connected Page to have granted the pages_manage_posts permission; if scheduling requests fail, reconnect the Facebook Page in Settings. Publishing on this page requires the facebook:edit permission — without it, the page shows an access-denied message instead of the composer.
