Composer

Overview

The Composer is the main place to start a new post. You type or paste your text, add images or video if you want, and click Continue. Social0 figures out the right post type (text, image, video, thread, or collection) and sends you to the next screen to pick accounts and publish or schedule. No need to choose the type yourself unless you want to.

How to use the Composer

1. Open the Composer (it’s usually the first screen you see in the Dashboard).
2. Type or paste your post in the text box.
3. Optionally add images or video: drag and drop files or click to upload. For a thread, turn on Add another post as thread and add more parts.
4. Click Continue.
5. On the next screen, select which connected accounts should receive the post.
6. Click Publish now to post immediately, or Schedule to pick a date and time.

If something’s wrong (e.g. video aspect ratio), we’ll show a message so you can fix it before continuing.

What the Composer does for you

• Picks the post type — Text only → text post. One image or more (no video) → image post. One video → video post. Multiple videos or mixed media → collection. Thread mode → thread post.
• Prefills the next step — Your text and media are carried over to the create/schedule screen so you don’t re-enter anything.

Tips

• Use the Composer when you want to move fast. Use Manual Posting when you want to choose “Text,” “Image,” “Video,” “Threads,” or “Collection” yourself.
• You can reorder images or videos by dragging before you click Continue.

Common questions

Q: I added a video and it said “invalid aspect ratio.” What do I do?
A: Use a common aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9, 9:16, 1:1). Resize or re-export your video in one of those and try again.

Q: Can I save from the Composer without publishing?
A: When you click Continue you go to the next step; there you can schedule for later or save as a draft instead of publishing now.
