Social Studio / Files, order, covers and previews

Prepare social media files, carousels and Reel covers

Prepare files for a single image, carousel or Reel. Check upload status, media order, previews and compatibility with the selected accounts.

PRODUCT VIEW

See how it works.

Prepare the images and videos for your post in the media editor. Choose a single image, a carousel of 2–10 images or a supported MP4 Reel, then follow validation, upload and processing statuses for each file. Move carousel images up or down, retry eligible files or remove them. Saved media order is part of the revision, so changes require a fresh review.

FROM NEED TO OUTCOME

Where this helps.

Even with the copy ready, incorrect file order, an unsupported video format or a cover that does not suit a destination account can leave publishing preparation incomplete.

WHAT YOU CAN WORK TOWARDS

Assess the files used with your copy and the destination account's format requirements in the same preparation space.

STEP BY STEP

IN EVERYDAY WORK

What it looks like in practice.

Content preparation team

A carousel needs its narrative order and destination account's format checked.

Arrange the files and inspect the preview and format results before saving the content revision.

Scenarios are illustrative; they are not customer testimonials or measured performance claims.

YOUR QUESTIONS

About this feature.

01Can I trim videos or retouch images?

The current tool focuses on selecting suitable files, arranging media and covers, previewing content and checking formats. Prepare files that need editing or retouching in the appropriate production tool.

02Does approval remain valid after changing media order?

Media files and their exact order belong to the saved revision. Changing a file or its order requires another review and approval.
