The post editor is the page where your post takes shape. As soon as you open a post, you land here. As everywhere in maebe, the page is split into two areas: a content column on the left and a context column on the right.
The content column (left)
This is where you put the actual post together. You'll find:
- the media – images or videos that you upload, crop and sort,
- the title – just for you and your team, it doesn't show up in the published post,
- the headline – a short heading, if your format calls for one,
- the caption – the actual post text,
- a hyperlink – a link that belongs to the post, for example to a landing page.

The context column (right)
On the right you set how and when the post goes out:
- Platform & format – where the post belongs and in what form (see Platforms & formats),
- Scheduling – the target date (see Planning & scheduling),
- the approval switch – this is how you share the post for sign-off (see How approval works),
- the post health – a checklist that shows you in green what's already done and in red what's still missing (for example media or a caption).
Editable or locked?
A post changes depending on where it is in its lifecycle – and with it, whether you can edit it right now.
- Editable: As long as a post is a draft or currently in review, you can change everything – media, text, format and date.
- Locked: Once a post is approved or already posted, the content column becomes read-only. You can still see everything, but you can't accidentally change it anymore.
Note: If you change a post that was already up for review, any approvals that were already given are automatically reset. That way nobody signs off on something you then rebuilt afterwards.
If you want to touch a locked post again after all, you can move it back to draft. To learn how that works and what happens in the process, see Planning & scheduling.
