Insights on sent posts within the Publish dashboard

The Posts report under the Sent tab within your publishing dashboard (next to Queue) provides a history of all of your published posts. Looking at your posts individually allows you to draw comparisons and see patterns around which posting times are working best for you and what type of content your audience is most engaged with.

Report features

The features within the Posts report differ depending on if you have a Free or a paid plan, as shown in the table below.

*TikTok's API doesn't share how far back we can pull data. We pull as many posts as we can from your post history.

Performance metrics

The table below provides an overview of which performance metrics are available for each channel.

*Notes on X/Twitter posts:

• X/Twitter sent post analytics are only available for our current plans and are not available on legacy plans.
• Data for posts published natively on X/Twitter are fetched daily and can take up to 24 hours to appear in the Sent tab of Publish. Native post metrics may appear as "0" until the data is fetched. Posts published through Buffer will appear immediately.
• We are only able to pull in 100 sent posts per day on X/Twitter. If you are publishing more than 100 posts per day natively and via Buffer, we will prioritize pulling in posts published through Buffer first (therefore, native posts may be missing).

Metric descriptions

How to share posts again

With so much content on social media now, posts can easily get missed and lost in the flow, and we understand that you need to get maximum visibility. The Duplicate feature allows you to add published posts back into your queue to share a second time. Due to social networks becoming much stricter on the duplication of content, we recommend using this feature lightly, and making changes to your post text or image before sharing them multiple times. You can find guidance on resharing posts in the article: Is it possible to schedule one post to repeat multiple times?

Frequently asked questions

Are native posts included in the Posts report?

How far back does the data go?

• On the Free plan, you'll see a history of posts from the past 30 days.
• On our paid plans, you'll see a history of posts from the past 2 years.
• When you subscribe to a paid plan, or if you connect a new Facebook, Instagram, or X/Twitter account and you're already subscribed to a paid plan, we will backfill the past 200 native posts.
• For Mastodon, we will backfill the past 50 native posts.
• For Pinterest, we will backfill the past 250 native pins from up to 1000 boards.
• Please note that we'll show posts that have been sent since you added your social channel to Buffer.

Will deleted posts still appear in the Posts report?

Yes. The Posts report is a record of all posts sent through Buffer, so a post will still appear in the Posts report even if the published post has been deleted on the social network.

Is it possible to view all of my published posts in one view?

Yes, you can view all of your published posts in one list using the All Channels view (currently in Beta). You can learn more about How to use the All Channels view in Buffer here.

How can I delete or edit a published post?

At this time, we are unable to edit or delete a post once it's been published through Buffer. Instead, you'll need to edit or delete the published post directly on the social network. You can find a history of your published posts within the Sent tab of the Publish dashboard.
