Edit Category Queue Social Posts
in progress

Michael O'Rourke
Need the ability to edit existing posts in a category queue. Currently, you have to go a really long-winded way in order to edit a post (delete & recreate).
For example, If you spot a typo in a post that has gone out, you should just be able to jump onto the category queue, make the edit, and it will be fine going forward.
Even viewing the posts that are inside of a category queue is difficult...
I'd say look at SocialBees setup for examples of this.

Sales & Marketing This post is in my Marketing Technology category. When I wrote the original I wasn't thinking about how having "2025" in the copy would make it non-evergreen. I was just trying to get attention for the video on YouTube. The simplest edit would be to remove the " in 2025". Failing that, I would need to clone the post for editing but also delete the previous version. What is the likelihood we will have one of those abilities before February?

Shaun Clark & Chase Buckner,
It would help if we had even general definitions of the statuses "Review" "Planned" "Progress" Complete" "Closed" and any others. I think they mean:
Review - 2+ quarters away.
Planned - next quarter.
Progress - this quarter.
But, sometimes a status is applied early and production stalls with no communication to the user community.

The knowledge base shows this already exists so very disappointing that it doesn't.

Ooohhh would also love CSV BULK using category (or add category in the CSV bulk format...) so when we bulk post using CSV - we can also bulk add into categories... I can see that you'll have to create rules for posts with categories ...when those categories are NOT in HL yet...I'd presume just create a new category.

Shenna Tolentino-Uon Sales & Marketing check this suggestion. uploading bulk post is needed and possibly not with the 90 posts limit. So if we have 100 evergreen post we can just upload the csv and its done without having to create manually every single post in the queue.
P.s. since is under development remember to let the queue be saved and imported in snapshot as it happening with csv

"Enable Future Post Queuing" Should Not Create Duplicate Posts
A
Angela Salamone
When creating a category queue, you have the option to choose "Enable Future Post Queuing" to automatically queue any new posts created in the selected category (add new posts to a category queue to be reused, when tagged with that queue's category). But unfortunately, this also applies to posts that are already queued. Meaning that once a queued post is added to the schedule from the queue/published, it gets added BACK into the queue, creating a duplicate post. This feature should ONLY apply to NEW posts added into the queue, not existing posts in the queue which get posted again.
This is very frustrating not only because it inflates the actual number of posts that are in a category queue, but if you ever want to edit one of those posts, first of all, you have to delete and recreate the queue entirely, and second, you have to make edits to the post and then manually delete all of the duplicate posts. It's tedious and time-consuming, especially for bigger queues. The system should be able to recognize posts that are being reused. They should not be created as separate, duplicate posts.
When the system pulls a post to be reused, it should effectively "link" to the existing post in the queue, not create a new one that is separate with no way for the system to understand that they are the same exact post.
I am unsure if this is a bug or an intentional function.

CATEGORY QUEUE miss a couple of necessary feature

First of all great that you guys implemented the evergreen contents post lists!
A couple of things are really missing:
1) When a category queue is created its required to create every single post manually while should be very helpful to have the option to upload a csv file (the old csv template its perfect - the software should just ignore the time to post (first column) and keep content and image/video/gif urls)
2) Once a categori its queued - even if paused there is no chance to edit the posts

Thank you for reaching out to me via email regarding improving the category queue editing - Please see my notes (Also sent back via email)
Editing and Managing Category Queue Posts
- Edit posts within a category queue without needing to delete and recreate them (e.g. fixing typos).
- Easily view all posts inside a category queue.
- Reorder posts inside a queue (e.g. drag and drop).
- Clone posts within a queue to quickly create variations.
- Change the schedule/frequency of an existing queue after it’s created.
- See the full list of posts and the schedule within each queue for transparency.
- Edit the scheduled date/time for category queues post-creation.
- Prioritise new posts properly without causing double-posting issues.
- Improve overall UX for queue management
- Allow editing of queued posts that have already been published, so changes apply going forward.
Queue Scheduling Improvements
- Allow fixed posting schedules (e.g. 9:05 am and 4:47 pm daily).
- Introduce rotating queues.
- Allow temporary pauses when a manual “post once” is scheduled, then resume automatically.
- Add posts to the front or end of a queue without rescheduling everything.
- Enable drag-and-drop reordering on the calendar view.
- Allow bi-weekly to monthly queue schedules.
- Allow to pause a category completely.
General Feedback / UX
- Remove arbitrary limits like not being able to edit queue schedules after creation.
- Provide more visibility and control over how new posts interact with queues.
- Make the entire queue management process less manual and time-consuming.

What Michael O'Rourke says here is right on target.
I just had a great conversation with Akansha Simran. What is proposed for release this quarter is going to get us well down the path to a great feature!

Posting Schedule + Content Queue
R
Ryan Jenkins
Instead of requiring me to schedule a specific time for my post to go live, allow me to set a posting schedule (e.g., 9:05am and 4:47pm).
Then, I can add posts to a rotating queue and as soon as the next post time arrives, the next post in the queue will be published. When the end of the queue is reached, the rotation restarts.
Over time, as I add more content to the queue, the time between reposts gets longer and longer.
If I intentionally schedule a specific "post once" post to go up near 9:05 am tomorrow, the queue is paused until the next posting slot.
