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).
Note: Once a post is approved, approval and publishing sit in one shared card. There, two tabs let you choose whether to post it yourself or publish automatically via Social Connect – more under Publishing directly.
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.
Moving a post to another project
Created a post in the wrong project, or want to reorganize? In the top right, next to Duplicate, you'll find the Move button. A click opens a small dialog where you pick the target project – the post travels there together with its media, caption and approval. Nothing is lost, and you don't rebuild anything.
You can move posts between projects within the same team. If there's no other project, the button doesn't appear at all.
The history
At the very bottom of the editor sits an unobtrusive, collapsible bar with a clock icon. Open it and you'll see the post's history – who did what and when: approvals and rejections, activating and locking the approval link, changes to text or media by you or your clients, plus planning and publishing steps.
This lets you trace what happened to a post at any time – for example that an approval was given, even if someone on your team handled it on a client's behalf.
Comments deliberately don't show up here – you'll find those directly in the post's comment area.
