Social Planner
Social Planner Enhancements for Youtube Shorts, Approval Flow, and Post Preview
- Post YouTube Shorts up to 3 Minutes: Following YouTube’s update on October 15th, you can now post YouTube Shorts of up to 3 minutes through our Social Planner. Share longer, more engaging content directly with your audience.
- Improved YouTube Shorts Hashtag Placement: We’ve moved the required #shorts hashtag to the end of your YouTube Shorts titles. This change improves user experience by keeping your titles clean while still ensuring YouTube recognizes your video as a Short based on the hashtag, vertical aspect ratio, and time constraints.
- YouTube Shorts Visibility : Longer Shorts may not show up as Shorts within your channel page right away, and you may not see any traffic from the Shorts feed yet. It will take a few weeks to update all of the systems and surfaces where Shorts are shown or recommended like channel pages, Home, or Watch Next.
- Enhanced Approval Workflow: If a post is under review and the approver has been deleted, you can now update the approver directly from the table or post preview using the :heavy_plus_sign: icon. The new approver will receive an email notification for approval if configured.
- Improved Navigation and URL Sharing: We’ve integrated proper redirection and routing throughout the Social Planner, including all tabs in Content, Post List, and Calendar View. When you open the post editor and click back, you’ll return to the correct page with all your previously selected filters and social accounts. After updating a post, you’ll be redirected to your previous page in list view or to the correct date if the post was edited using calendar view.
- You can now copy and share URLs from the dashboard, and the URL will retain the view with all filters applied. Users can manipulate the URL to navigate directly to the page or date they want.
Post Preview Navigation Enhancements:
- Added arrows to the post preview platform tabs when platforms overflow from the preview drawer UI. This improvement helps you navigate the post preview interface more efficiently.
- Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where the UI would break when displaying the “created by” or “approver” avatar for deleted users. Additionally, profile pictures, when configured, were not visible for any users. Now, we properly indicate when a user has been deleted, and their profile images are displayed correctly.
- Added missing auth guard for watermark APIs to enhance security.
