Use Manual post when you want to write and publish a post yourself. Ask brand chat with /post when you want daoco to research, write, or adapt the post with you. When a copy review is available, uncertain voice or claim assessments remain unchecked. They do not count as confirmation that the copy fits your brand or that its claims are supported.

Create a post

1

Open Manual post

Choose Manual post from the sidebar, or ask brand chat to draft a post with /post.
2

Write the post

Add the main content once. The selected accounts receive that content, with account-specific titles, descriptions, and settings where supported.
3

Select targets

Choose the connected accounts and platform variations you want to publish to.
4

Review the preview

Check caption text, media, hashtags, platform-specific fields, and any readiness warnings.
5

Send it

Save a draft, publish immediately, or choose a date and time. When daoco prepares or publishes a post from chat, the action follows your brand’s approval preferences.
To have teammates or a client sign off a post before it goes out, choose Share for review from the post’s menu, or see Reviews.

Edit a chat post preview

In the chat workflow panel, click the caption inside a feed preview to edit it. Stories, articles, and video-first previews keep the text editor below the preview. The caption row shows whether you are using shared or custom text, the character count, and a reset option for custom text. Use the account picker in the preview header to switch between targets, add another connected account, or remove one. Eligible Instagram and Facebook accounts offer feed or story format choices there. When a request produces several drafts, use the header’s draft navigation to move between them. The campaign control links the draft to a campaign. Open the gear button for Post settings. Its Platform, Follow up, and Media tabs contain platform options, supported follow-up comments or thread replies, uploads, and media tools. Hover over the preview to reach media actions directly. Review each target before using the publish or schedule controls below the preview. Copy reviews apply to the text version reviewed. If you change that text, a stale review does not confirm the revised caption; ask daoco to review it again.

Scheduling from chat

Ask daoco to save your captions and schedule them in the same message. Include the date, time, and timezone. Unless the brand is set to Ask before acting, a requested time more than one hour away can be scheduled without another approval. Posting now or scheduling within the next hour requires approval. Explicit account restrictions and requests to stop at a proposal still apply. Ask for one caption across all platforms to replace the saved caption variants while keeping their media and platform settings. Earlier writing remains visible in the conversation after follow-ups. The panel you’re viewing stays open while the next request runs. If that request creates a new preview, the preview opens instead.

Post formats

When you ask for a post without naming a format, daoco picks the one that fits the idea and the platform: text only, a single image, a carousel, or a video. Steps, tips, lists, and before-and-after posts usually become carousels. Opinions, questions, and quick updates usually stay as text on X, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, and Bluesky. A carousel holds up to 10 images on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads, 9 on LinkedIn, 4 on X and Bluesky, and 35 in TikTok photo mode. Ask for a specific format and daoco uses it. For visuals, daoco looks through your asset library first, or through a campaign’s assets when the post belongs to a campaign. It attaches an image that already fits, edits one that is close (a crop, a new background, a restyle), and generates only what is still missing. Edits save as a new version or a new asset, so your original stays as it was. Every feed post is saved with a caption. A post publishes as a feed post unless you choose otherwise. On Instagram and Facebook you can publish a draft as a story instead: set the Publish as control on that account to Story, and the target shows a Story badge wherever it appears. Other platforms do not offer a story option because their APIs do not support publishing one. A story is one image or one video that sits in the story tray for 24 hours. Vertical 9:16 works best, and video must be 60 seconds or shorter. Captions, hashtags, and first comments are not published on a story, so put the message in the visual; the caption stays with the draft for your own reference and the editor says so. daoco blocks a story with no media, with more than one card, with an image and a video mixed together, or with video over the limit, and tells you which it is. The preview matches the format. Stories render in a phone frame with a Safe zone toggle that shows what the platform’s own controls will cover, multi-image posts page through their images the way Instagram and TikTok display them, and a Reddit draft gets a document-style preview with its own Title field and a long-form body editor that renders Markdown. Carousel, video, and article layouts are chosen from the platform and the media you attached, so there is nothing to select for them.

Common tasks

  • Create platform-specific variants from one idea.
  • Reuse a library asset or generated visual.
  • Add first comments or thread segments when supported by the platform.
  • Send TikTok uploads to platform drafts when that option is available.
  • Save a draft for later review instead of publishing.
To revise a generated graphic, name the draft and the change in the same chat. For example: “Replace only the Instagram graphic with a simpler layout. Keep its caption and the LinkedIn draft unchanged. Keep everything as drafts.” daoco can use the saved image from the conversation when updating that draft. Reopen the preview to review the replacement before publishing. The chat’s Assets panel shows one card per graphic. Open View history to compare saved versions. Select an older version to show Revert beside the history toggle. The version marked Current is the asset’s saved current image. Reverting an asset does not replace images already attached to posts. Ask in chat to update a specific draft. Collections appear when they help separate sets of graphics. Revisions stay inside their asset card, and numbered positions appear for ordered collections. A graphic that belongs to no collection stays in All. The panel does not create an Ungrouped collection for it.
Platform APIs can reject content even after daoco validates it. Review Platform support and limitations before important launches.
