Pictures, video and carousels

Upload files

1. 1

   Step 1: On the post, go to Assets.

2. 2

   Step 2: Drag files onto the box that says Drag and drop files here, or click to upload, or click it to choose files.

3. 3

   Step 3: Each file appears as a tile when it's done. Click a tile to see it full size.

You can attach images, videos and PDFs. A PDF goes to LinkedIn as a document post that people swipe through. No other network takes a PDF.

To download or remove a file, hover over its tile, click the small arrow at the bottom right and choose Download or Delete. Delete asks you to confirm first, and a deleted file can't be brought back.

Carousels and slide order

Attach more than one file and most networks post them as a carousel. Each tile shows its slide number, and slide 1 is on the left.

1. 1

   Step 1: Drag a tile left or right to move it. The line under the tiles reads Drag to reorder. Slide 1 is on the left.

   

   Close

   

2. 2

   Step 2: Or hover over a tile and use its Move left and Move right arrows.

The new order saves at once and every network on the post uses it.

With more than one file attached, a line under the caption counts them, for example 4/10 attachments (Instagram limit).

Fit or crop a picture to a network's shape

Some networks only take certain shapes. Instagram feed pictures, for example, must be between 4:5 (portrait) and 1.91:1 (landscape). A picture that doesn't fit is listed under Ready for review? with a Fix button.

1. 1

   Step 1: Press Fix next to the picture. A window opens with the whole picture fitted to the nearest allowed shape.

   

   Close

   

2. 2

   Step 2: Under How, keep Fit, nothing cut off or choose Crop.

3. 3

   Step 3: Under Shape, choose a shape such as 4:5 portrait or 1:1 square.

4. 4

   Step 4: For a fit, choose what fills the space around the picture under Fill around the image: Blurred, White, Black or Brand colour. For a crop, drag the picture to frame it and use Zoom.

5. 5

   Step 5: Switch between After and Before under Compare to check it, then press Save.

If several pictures need the same fix, press Fix all next to the network's name to do them in one window. The fix changes this post only, for every network on it. The originals stay in the client's Library under Files, and an Undo button appears after you save.

Reuse files from the Library

1. 1

   Step 1: Open the client's Library and go to Assets or Files.

2. 2

   Step 2: Right-click a file and choose Create post. A new post opens with a copy of that file attached.

   

   Close

   

3. 3

   Step 3: To add more, drag other tiles from the Library onto the post's upload box while the post is open beside it. The box reads Drop here to attach.

The Library file stays as it is. See Library and files.
