Before you start
What a week in Review Mode looks like
You ask for posts when you want them. Autopilot writes a batch, with an image and a suggested day and time for each, and you choose which ones to keep. The screen for this is called "Generate posts".
- Open your schedule and tap Generate posts.
- Swipe right on a post to schedule it. Swipe left to skip it. Tap a post to see why Autopilot wrote it.
- Each post you keep lands on your schedule at the day and time shown on the card.
- Change your mind anytime before it goes out: edit the words, move it, or delete it.
Swiping right is the approval. For the details, see how to approve a post and how to create a post yourself.
Review Mode vs Autopilot Mode
| Review Mode | Autopilot Mode | |
|---|---|---|
| Who puts posts on your schedule | You do, by swiping right | Autopilot does, overnight |
| What you do each week | Generate posts and pick the ones you like | Glance at the schedule when you want to |
| How many posts | Up to your plan's limit: 3 a week on Free, 3 a day on Pro | Free: 1 a week. Pro: the pace you set |
| If you get busy and forget | Your Page goes quiet | Posts keep going out |
| On by default | Yes | No. You turn it on |
When Autopilot asks for a second look
Sometimes a scheduled post goes out of date before it runs. Say you delete a product, or a special ends. Autopilot flags that post, and it shows up under "Needs you" on Home and in the "Needs review" tab on your schedule. See how to review a flagged post.
What happens next
Once a post is on your schedule, it goes out at its time. There's no second approval, so the schedule is the place to check what's coming.

- Fix the wording first with how to edit a post.
- Not sure which mode is on? Here's how to check which mode you're in.
If something's not right
You expected posts to show up on their own
In Review Mode they don't. You generate posts and schedule the ones you want. If you'd rather Autopilot fill the schedule for you, see how to turn on Autopilot Mode.
You can't schedule another post this week
Free schedules 3 posts a week, Monday to Sunday. Drafts don't count. See what to do when you hit a plan limit.
A post you scheduled never appeared on Facebook
Check that your Page is still connected, then see what to do when a post didn't go out.
