A quick check before your X post goes live

1. The account

Read the handle in the scheduling dialog. Don't rely on the avatar alone: a personal account and a business account may use the same photo.

• Is this the intended public account?
• Does Connected accounts show a reconnect warning?
• If you manage several profiles, did you choose the right one?

2. The facts and the first line

Check every price, date, feature name and result against its source. Then read the first sentence on its own. Does it say something, or just announce that you have something to say?

3. The link and the media

If an image needs a long explanation to avoid being misleading, change it. A caption shouldn't have to apologize for the visual.

• Open the link as a visitor, without relying on your signed-in session.
• Use the final destination, not an editing or preview URL.
• Check the image belongs to this post and its text is readable on a phone.
• Inspect AI-generated text, logos and product details.
• Remove private details and confirm you have permission to use the media.

4. The time and surrounding posts

Check the date, time-zone label and any deadline in the caption. Review nearby posts too. Two announcements for different offers can confuse readers even when each is accurate.

If the plan changes, edit or reschedule the existing queued post. Cancelling is an option, but it doesn't refund the scheduling credit.

5. The result after delivery

A scheduled post is not a confirmed publication. After the chosen time, check its status and open the destination when a link is available.

If delivery is unconfirmed, check X before posting again. If there is a clear failure, read the message and fix the cause. Don't submit new copies while the outcome is unknown.
