Manage, edit, and delete social posts

Manage your social posts in HubSpot by editing drafts and scheduled posts, cloning existing posts, moving scheduled posts to drafts, and associating posts with campaigns. You can also delete drafted, scheduled, and supported published posts.

Published posts cannot be edited through HubSpot. To make changes, clone the post, edit the content, then publish it as a new post.

Please note: you cannot edit or delete images on published Facebook posts, including posts published through HubSpot.
