What Posting days does
Autopilot picks dates for new posts only from the days you turn on. New accounts start with Monday to Friday on. If you turn every day off, Autopilot treats it as every day, so keep at least one on.
It works together with how often Autopilot posts. That setting says how many posts to schedule. "Posting days" says which days they can land on.
On Free versus Pro
| Free | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Posting days | Locked behind a card that reads "Pick when Autopilot posts" | You choose |
| Autopilot Mode | Works, at 1 post a week | Works, up to 3 a day |
| Must Autopilot Mode be on to edit | Not applicable | Yes |
What happens next
- Autopilot plans ahead overnight, so new days apply to posts it plans from now on.
- See where posts landed on your schedule.
- Set the pace with how to change how often Autopilot posts.
- Need one post on a day you've turned off? Reschedule that post yourself.
