#The quick way

For a simple update, you don't even need to leave the dashboard. Type into Publish everywhere, add a picture if you like, and click Publish to all. It goes to every account you've connected.

#Write your post

For anything you want to fine-tune, click Publish and then New Post.

1. Choose your channelsThe round pictures at the top are your accounts. Click one to include or leave it out. The ones with a blue ring are in.
2. WriteType your post. The smiley button adds emoji and # starts a hashtag. The small number in the corner is how many characters you have left on the strictest network you picked, so 280 if X is included.
3. Add pictures or videoDrag files onto the box or click select a file. You can add up to 10.

#Tweak it for each network

Every network you pick gets its own small panel of options, so you can make the most of each one without writing a separate post.

• Instagram and Facebook: choose Post, Reel or Story, and add a first comment (handy for keeping hashtags out of your caption).
• YouTube: give your video a Title, pick a Category and Visibility, and decide whether to Notify subscribers.

If something doesn't fit, like a Reel without a video, Socira tells you in yellow before you publish, not after.

#Send it

When you're happy, click Add to Queue. Socira puts the post in your next free posting time. Open the little arrow next to it for other options:

• Share Next puts it first in line and moves the rest back a slot.
• Share Now publishes straight away.
• Schedule Post lets you pick an exact date and time.
• Save as Draft keeps it safe until you're ready.
