Managing your posts

Everything you write lives in the Posts area (the "Posts" item in the navigation). It's where a post travels from idea to published.

Three ways to view your posts

You can see the same posts in three layouts. Table is the default; Calendar and Board are saved views you add with + New view (picking the Calendar or Board layout), then switch between from the view bar:

• Table (the default) — a sortable, filterable list with columns for title, status, date, and more.
• Calendar — a month grid showing each post on its day: drafts you've given a day, scheduled posts, and published ones. Posts without a day sit in a sidebar; drag one onto a day to place it (see "Drafts on your calendar" below).
• Board — a kanban board with columns for New, Drafted, Scheduled, Past due, and Published. Drag a card between columns to change its status. Dragging into Scheduled always opens the Schedule dialog, so you choose the time and how it goes out, and dragging into Published opens the publish step rather than posting instantly.

The Pillar column

If your plan includes content pillars, the Posts table carries a Pillar column showing which of your buckets each post belongs to. Click a cell to change it, or tick several rows and use Set pillar to move them together. You can also filter the table by pillar to see everything in one theme at a time.

A pillar you set here is final — Wren won't relabel it later. Setting up your pillars and how Wren assigns them are covered in Content pillars.

Post statuses and how they change

Each post carries one status:

• New — created but not yet drafted.
• Draft — has content, not scheduled. A draft can still have a day on your calendar.
• Scheduled — you've scheduled it for a future time, and chosen whether Wren publishes it or reminds you.
• Published — live on LinkedIn.
• Past Due — its scheduled time passed but it never went live.

Giving a post a day doesn't schedule it. A post becomes Scheduled only when you schedule it (below); publish it (or mark it published) and it becomes Published. You can also change status directly from the status dropdown in a post's side panel, the inline Status cell, or by dragging on the board.

Drafts on your calendar

You can put a draft on a day before it's ready to go out. It shows on the calendar as an outlined card marked Draft, and in its side panel under Date. A draft on your calendar:

• Doesn't publish, and doesn't send a reminder.
• Doesn't count toward your writing goal. Only scheduled and published posts do.
• Keeps its day until you move it or click Remove from calendar in its side panel.

Scheduled posts look different: a filled card showing the time and how the post goes out.

Cards with a dashed outline are Wren's suggestions, not your posts. They come from Plan mode, which fills the open days in your plan from your own ideas and sources. A suggestion isn't a post until you click Write this.

Dragging onto a day. Drop a post that already has text onto a day and Wren asks what you want:

• Auto-publish to LinkedIn at the time you pick.
• Remind me to post it at that time.
• Keep it as a draft on this day — nothing is scheduled; the button reads Add as draft.

A post with no text yet goes straight onto the day as a draft, since there's nothing to schedule. You can put a draft on today or any later day. Dragging a post that's already on the calendar to another day moves it and leaves its status as it was.

Missed drafts. If a draft's day passes before you schedule or publish it, its card turns amber and reads Missed · Draft. Click Move to next open day to move it to the next weekday that has nothing on it. It stays a draft.

Unscheduling keeps the day. If you move a scheduled post back to Draft, it stays on its day as a draft and Wren switches off auto-publish for it. Schedule it again when it's ready.

Scheduling a post

Open a post and click the Schedule button (or drag the card into the Scheduled column on the board). If the post is already on your calendar as a draft, the dialog opens on that day. Pick a date and time and decide what happens when that moment arrives:

• Auto-publish to LinkedIn — Wren posts to LinkedIn for you, no action needed. This option is available when LinkedIn is connected; if it isn't, Wren shows a prompt to connect first.
• Remind me to post it — Wren sends you a Telegram message when it's time, and you publish it yourself. If you haven't connected Telegram, the dialog says so: you'll post it yourself, with no reminder, until you set reminders up.

When LinkedIn is connected, auto-publish is the default selection. You can switch between the two options any time by reopening the Schedule dialog.

A post needs text before it can be scheduled, and the time has to be in the future. Times are in the timezone set in your Settings. If you pick a time that doesn't exist on that day (the hour the clocks skip forward), the dialog shows the time the post will actually go out.

To take a post off the calendar completely, click Remove schedule in the dialog or Remove from calendar in the side panel. It goes back to being a draft with no day.

Publishing manually

Open the post and click Publish. Confirm in the "Publish to LinkedIn?" dialog and Wren posts it to your profile. You'll need your LinkedIn account connected first; if it isn't, the button reads Connect to publish and walks you through connecting, then brings you back to the post. The Publish button stays greyed out until the post has content. Note that Wren attaches only the first image on a post to LinkedIn — if a post has more than one image, auto-publish is blocked, so publish it manually.

Auto-publish: what to know

When a post is scheduled with auto-publish on, Wren publishes it at the scheduled time with no manual step. A few things worth knowing:

• If the attempt at the scheduled time hits a temporary LinkedIn glitch, Wren retries automatically — up to 3 attempts over about 10 minutes — and tells you it's retrying. If the problem is permanent (for example, your LinkedIn connection expired) or the retries run out, Wren stops and notifies you: the post stays Scheduled with an error note — re-open the Schedule dialog to re-arm it, or publish manually.
• Auto-publish needs your LinkedIn connection to stay valid. That connection expires periodically, so reconnect LinkedIn when Wren prompts you to keep unattended publishing working.

Recovering a Past Due post

A Past Due post means the scheduled time came and went without publishing. To fix it, either mark it Published (and paste the link) or reschedule it to a new time.

Adding the LinkedIn link (optional, unlocks analytics)

When you mark a post Published, Wren asks for the URL of the live LinkedIn post. This is optional — you can skip it and add it later — but the link is what lets Wren track that post's analytics. Until you add it, analytics won't be tracked.

Version history

As you edit, draft with AI, or revise through chat, Wren keeps a history. Open the post's editor and expand Version History to see each saved version with its timestamp and source (Manual, AI, or Chat). Click Revert on any entry to restore that version.
