Additional Options Below the Text Section

Tag Brand: Use this section if you want to add a sponsor. It works for both Facebook and Instagram, but to do this, you need to enable the customize post option at the top right. This way, you can choose for both platforms.
When you’re ready to share your visual, plan it for the desired date by setting the date and time.
That’s all! Your post is scheduled and ready to go on the specified date.
