Publish posts and stories

Publish schedules your creators' MYM posts and stories, then sends them at the planned time. Open the page from Content › Publish in the sidebar. The left column picks the creator: only those connected to MYM and opened to you are listed.

The calendar

The page bar offers three views: Calendar, List and Rotations. The calendar shows the creator's month, publication by publication.

• Each publication shows its time and the icon of its type, with a yellow line for a post and a green one for a story.

• A day shows two publications, then a link such as "3 others" to see the rest.

• The sends of a rotation are grouped into a single label per day. Dotted, they are still to come, worked out by the rotation (see Media rotations).

• A draft appears greyed out, waiting for a media item or a date.

Clicking a day, today or later, opens the editor on that date. Clicking a scheduled publication or a draft opens it for editing. The List view shows the same publications in a table, with Type, Media, Status, Scheduled for, Caption and Auto-action.

Create a publication

1. 1

   Open the editor

   Click Publish at the top right, or a day in the calendar.

2. 2

   Choose the content

   Choose the Content type, Post or Story, then the creator and the Media, taken from the creator's Cloud (one media per publication). For a post, the Visibility is Public or Private.

3. 3

   Choose the time

   In When to publish, Now sends the publication within the minute. Scheduled asks for a Publish date and a Time.

4. 4

   Complete and save

   A post gets a Caption and, if needed, a Playlist. A story gets its Audiences: Subscribers, Ex-subscribers, Interested, or Everyone. Then click Save.

Auto-delete removes the publication after a delay in hours: Delete, or Set private for a public post. For a story, the delay goes up to 24 h, the lifetime of a story on MYM.

Statuses

To delete a scheduled publication, open it, click Delete, then Confirm deletion. What is already online is managed from View on MYM.

The limit of 5 public posts per day

MYM only accepts 5 public posts per day and per account. Private posts and stories are not limited. You are warned beforehand:

• the calendar marks the day with Over 5 public posts;

• the editor, the import and rotations show a warning, without blocking the save.

At send time, the extra post is not sent. It goes to Failed, with the reason on hover. A rotation send is simply skipped.

Import from an Excel file

The Import button opens Import publications. Download template gives you an Excel file with its guide: one row per publication, a required date and time in the future (09:00 if the time is missing), the type, the caption, the visibility, the audiences, and optional columns for the media and the auto-delete in minutes.

Once the file is filled in, Upload file reads up to 100 rows. You then assign a media item to each row, or to all of them at once with Attach in sequence, then create the publications. A row with its media goes out scheduled; without a media item, it stays as a draft to complete in the calendar.

See what is online

View on MYM opens Published on MYM: the creator's Feed and Stories, as they are on her account. A story shows the time it has left, and Blur private hides private posts.

With the right to edit live publications:

• a post's pencil opens Edit post, to change its caption or visibility;

• Select ticks up to 10 publications at a time, then Make public, Make private or Delete.

Rights
