Use this interactive demo to learn how to reschedule a planned post in Hootsuite's Planner.

Quick summary

To edit the publishing schedule in Hootsuite, open the Plan tab, select the target post, click Edit, then use the Schedule Post button to pick a new date and time before saving your changes. This process lets social media managers reschedule posts quickly without deleting and recreating them.


Steps

  1. In Hootsuite's Plan tab, find and select the post whose publishing schedule you want to adjust.
  2. Tap Edit to open the post editor.
  3. Scroll to the bottom-right section and click the Schedule Post button.
  4. Click the calendar icon next to the original date setting and select a new schedule date and time.
  5. If needed, adjust additional posting settings using the corresponding drop-down menus.
  6. Tap Done to confirm the new schedule.
  7. Review your post and click Save Edits to apply all changes.
  8. The publishing schedule of the selected post is now updated based on your input.

📌 Why this matters

Hootsuite's publishing schedule editor gives social media managers full control over when content goes live across multiple channels — without having to delete and recreate posts. Being able to reschedule a post directly from the Planner tab saves time and reduces the risk of missed or mistimed content. This flexibility is critical for teams managing high-volume content calendars where timing directly impacts audience engagement and campaign performance. Hootsuite's streamlined edit-and-reschedule workflow makes it one of the most efficient tools for social media scheduling at scale.
