1. The status of a whole post
A post has one status worked out from all its deliveries:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Created and nothing has started. |
| Publishing | At least one platform is still working. |
| Completed | Every platform has the post. |
| Partial | Some platforms have it and some failed. Retry the failed ones. |
| Failed | Every platform failed. |
2. The status of one delivery
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| pending | Waiting its turn or being processed by the platform. |
| success | Published. The card has a link, and numbers appear later. |
| error | It failed. The card says why in plain words and offers Retry publishing. |
3. The workflow label
A pill next to the status shows where a post is in the team workflow:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| draft | Saved by someone who cannot publish, waiting for a publisher. See Drafts. |
| in review | Sent for approval. See Review posts. |
| scheduled | Waiting for its publish time. |
| (none) | A normal post that was published, or is being published, or failed. |
Retry, Publish now and cancel work only for posts with no workflow label. A draft, an in-review or a scheduled post must be published from its own page: Drafts, Approvals or Scheduled.
