- **Available to:** All users
- **Plans:** All plans

You can open a new post from three places: the **+ New post** button at the top of the left menu, the **Write a new post** card on the Dashboard, or **+ New post** at the top right of the **Publish** page.

## The editor toolbar

- **← Posts:** Back to the Publish list. The post’s status (Draft, Published…) is shown next to it.
- **Write with AI:** Write from scratch or edit the current post. See [writing with AI](https://ulakom.com/md/en/help/bots/ai-rewrite.md).
- **Save draft:** Saves the post without publishing.
- **Publish:** Opens the publish window. When editing a published post this button becomes **Update**.
- The icon on the far right opens and closes the **Post settings** panel.

## Title, content and feature image

1. Click **Add feature image or video**: pick one **From library**, **Upload** it or **Generate with AI**.
2. Type the title in the **Post title** field and the content below it.
3. For the content you can use formatting (bold, italic, Heading 2/3, quote, link, list) and cards (image, gallery, video, YouTube, X/Twitter, divider, button, HTML and more).

The feature image has these buttons: **Change**, **Enhance image quality** (sharpens it with AI), **Add alt text** (for accessibility and SEO) and **Remove**.

## Post settings panel

- **Excerpt:** A short summary (up to 300 characters).
- **SEO Title** (up to 70 characters) and **SEO Description** (up to 160 characters): if left empty, the post title and excerpt are used. Get suggestions with **Generate title with AI** / **Generate description with AI**.
- The **post URL** and **publish date** can also be edited here.

## Sites to share

At the bottom of the panel, choose the sites the post will be published on. For each site you choose, you set separately:

- **Publish as:** The post’s author (from that site’s team).
- **Categories:** One or more of that site’s categories.
- **Content Type:** **News** or **Column Article**. Column articles are also listed in the **Column Articles** tab of the Publish page.
- **Social Media:** If a social account is connected to the site, the post is shared there too. See [social media sharing](https://ulakom.com/md/en/help/engagement/social-media.md).
- **Web Push Notification:** When on, subscribers get a notification when the post is published. Requires the **Pro** plan; Starter sites show an “Upgrade plan” link.

## Publishing

1. Click **Publish** at the top.
2. With **Right now** selected, publish with **Publish post →**. If you pick a future date the button becomes **Schedule post →**. See [scheduling](https://ulakom.com/md/en/help/publishing/schedule-posts.md).

The post is sent to the chosen sites in the background; on the **Publish** page you’ll see its status as “Sharing…”, “Shared” or “Partially shared”.

> **Tip:** You need a title and at least one site before publishing. When you edit a published post and click **Update**, the change goes live on the site too.
