Share posts with the Duplicate feature
With so much content on social media now, posts can easily get missed and lost in the flow. We understand that you need to get maximum visibility.
The Duplicate feature allows you to add published posts back into your queue to share another time. Due to social networks becoming much stricter on the duplication of content, we recommend using this feature lightly, and making changes to your posts before sharing them multiple times (learn why: Is it possible to schedule one post to repeat multiple times?)
You can reshare a post from either the queue view or the calendar view.
⚠️ There's currently a restriction when duplicating Facebook posts that limits Buffer from being able to copy the text of a Facebook post when duplicating it. Your images/videos will duplicate, but your text will not duplicate. We're working to resolve this.
📝 The Duplicate feature is not available on posts created natively on your social channels; it's only available for posts you originally published through Buffer.
