We all make mistakes. Cancel gives you a safety net - if you spot a typo, wrong account, or missing media after clicking publish, you can stop before your mistake goes live.

Pro Tips

  • Quick reflexes - cancel as soon as you notice error
  • Check before confirming - see which platforms already published
  • Partial publishes mean some platforms succeeded - check status
  • Draft remains after cancel - edit and republish
  • Video processing is best time to cancel - before uploading
  • After upload starts cancellation is less useful (bandwidth already used)
  • Multi-platform posts may partially succeed - verify what published
  • Confirmation required prevents accidental cancellation
  • Edit immediately after cancel while mistake is fresh
  • Prevention is better - double-check before publishing
