Post options: schedule, pin, polls, albums and more

Everything the composer can do besides the picture: several files with their own access, audio, polls, scheduling, pinning, comments, Discover, expiry and wall albums.

  1. 1

    Several files: pick more pictures or videos after the first one (up to 21 in a post). Tap a file's thumbnail to give it its own access — the same as the post, a free preview, subscribers, a tier and above, or a price of its own. Its tag (Free, $7.00, Gold+) shows on the thumbnail.

  2. 2

    Audio: after the post's picture or video, the music-note button adds MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV or OGG files (up to 50 MB each). They play right on the post and take the same per-file access.

  3. 3

    Poll: the chart button adds a poll — an optional question, 2 to 6 options, one or several choices, and a run of 1, 3 or 7 days (or no end). Each fan votes once and then sees the results.

  4. 4

    Open Post options under the composer for the rest. The row shows what is set as small tags.

What Post options can do

  • Schedule for later: pick a date and time; the post waits under Scheduled posts on the dashboard and goes out by itself. Paid and subscribers-only posts can be scheduled too.

  • Expires: the post leaves your profile, the feed and Discover at that time. Nothing is deleted — it stays in your own timeline, marked Expired.

  • Who can comment: Everyone, Followers (subscribers count as followers), Subscribers or Nobody. You can always comment on your own post.

  • Pin to the top of my profile: up to 3 posts stay above the rest; pinning a fourth releases the oldest pin. Use the pin button on a post in your timeline to pin or unpin later.

  • Show in Discover and tag pages: untick it to keep a post off Discover, the tag pages and the front page. Followers and your profile still show it.

  • Add to albums: put the post into one or more wall albums (or create one right there). Fans see your albums as tabs above your posts.

Changing options later

  • On your own profile timeline, the pencil opens the post with its options: comments, Discover, expiry and pin can be changed at any time.

  • Wall albums are renamed and deleted on the dashboard under My posts. Deleting an album never deletes its posts.

  • Your watermark — the text over your pictures and videos and its corner — is set on the dashboard under My posts, with a preview. Leave the text empty for collectfans.com/your-name.
