Pause & Resume Posts

Sometimes you need to hold a scheduled post without deleting it or losing the scheduled time. The Pause feature lets you put any scheduled post into a holding pattern until you're ready to go ahead.

How it works

When you pause a post:

• The post status changes to Paused (shown as a gray badge)
• The original scheduled time is preserved so you can see when it was going to go out
• The post is removed from the publish queue and will not be published automatically
• You can still edit the post caption and media while it's paused

When you resume a post:

• If the original scheduled time is still in the future, the post returns to Scheduled and will publish at that time
• If the original time has already passed, you'll be prompted to pick a new time

Pausing a post

You can pause a post from any view:

• List view — Click the gray Pause button on any scheduled post
• Table view — Click the pause icon (⏸) on any scheduled post
• Calendar view — Click a post to open the detail modal, then select Pause from the More Actions dropdown
• Card view — Click a post to open the detail modal, then select Pause from the More Actions dropdown

Pausing is instant — no confirmation dialog is needed since it's easily reversible.

Resuming a post

Paused posts show a green Resume button:

• List view — Click the green Resume button
• Table view — Click the play icon (▶) on paused posts
• Post modal — Select Resume from the More Actions dropdown (it appears at the top)

If the original scheduled time has passed, you'll see a message asking you to pick a new time. The reschedule dialog will open automatically.

Bulk pause & resume

In Table view, you can select multiple posts and use the bulk action buttons:

• Pause Selected — Pauses all selected scheduled posts
• Resume Selected — Resumes all selected paused posts. Any posts whose scheduled time has passed will need to be rescheduled individually.

Other actions on paused posts

While a post is paused, you can:

• Edit the caption or media in the composer
• Save as Draft to move it to your drafts
• Delete to remove it permanently
• Duplicate to create a copy

You cannot Post Now or Reschedule a paused post directly — resume it first.

Filtering paused posts

Use the Status filter in the dashboard to filter by Paused to see all your held posts at a glance.
