FAQ

The things that are easy to miss

How do I switch the calendar to a week?+

Choose Week beside Post calendar. Sunday through Saturday stack vertically, with each day’s posts side by side. The arrows move one week and Today returns to the current period.

How do I move calendar posts on my phone?+

Turn on Reorder, then drag the post itself. Add puts it on the other post’s day; Swap exchanges their slots. Turn Reorder off when you finish.

Can I edit a Reel cover without changing its video?+

Yes. Select the captured or uploaded still in Reel media to use the same editing toolbar as photos. Cover edits leave the video unchanged. Use current frame and Upload cover appear only while the video is selected.

Does Trial Reel apply to every platform?+

No. Publish as Trial Reel is an Instagram option. Other destinations keep their own video publishing behavior. Review its sharing option in Accounts → Instagram publishing.

Do inline account changes need another Save?+

No. Account selections and applicable publishing options save automatically. Use the centered Close button at the bottom of the inline accounts editor when you finish.

Can I enter the beta while platform invitations are pending?+

Yes. ShootFeed app access is separate from platform invitations. Sign in with the email from your access-ready invitation and accept the beta agreement. Getting Started shows your own platform setup steps.

What does Pending mean?+

Pending is an approval status. A pending post can still be on the master schedule, have a custom schedule, or remain unscheduled.

What is the difference between Master, Custom, and Unscheduled?+

Master uses the profile’s recurring posting cadence. Custom locks a post to a specific date and time. Unscheduled keeps the post available in the grid but outside the active queue.

Why did a post disappear from the calendar?+

Unscheduled posts do not appear on the calendar. Find them in the grid or the Unscheduled planning section in Instagram preview. Assign a master or custom schedule when you are ready.

What happens if publishing only succeeds on some platforms?+

ShootFeed records the partial result, alerts you, and keeps the post available for review. Open Publishing needs attention on the post to review each destination. For an uncertain or timed-out attempt, check the provider before retrying to avoid duplicates.

What does the Performance page show?+

For connected accounts with insights enabled, ShootFeed brings together provider-reported post results, best-time patterns, and audience growth. Available metrics vary by platform and account.

Can ShootFeed publish to every Instagram account?+

During the private beta, publishing is limited to connected test accounts while Meta production access is reviewed. Wider account linking opens only after Meta approves the public app permissions.

Does ShootFeed replace the social platforms?+

ShootFeed is the planning and publishing workspace. Platform rules, moderation, account eligibility, and provider outages can still affect a post after it leaves ShootFeed.

When should I expect a support response?+

During the invitation-only beta, ShootFeed targets an initial response within one business day. Security, privacy, account-access, and unexpected-publication reports receive same-day priority triage whenever practical.

Still need a hand?

Beta testers can send a question or bug report from Settings → Support so the request stays tied to the right account.
