Publishing Section

Whether a post has been drafted, scheduled for a specific day and time, added to the Sprout Queue or submitted for approval, you can manage it from the Publishing section.

Clicking Publishing in the menu bar reveals a left navigation bar containing the following tools:

• Calendar
• Sprout Queue
• Drafts
• Needs Approval (Professional and Advanced plans only)
• Rejected (Professional and Advanced plans only)
• Find Content
• Asset Library (Advanced plans only)
• Instagram Notifications
• Post via RSS
• Failed Posts

Depending on your publishing permissions, you may not see some of the left navigation bar tools. You can learn more about Publishing permissions in the Administration & Billing category.
