# Overview

> The post page is where you draft, format, schedule, and collaborate on social content.

The post page is your workspace for creating, drafting, and managing social content. Everything you need - from writing and formatting to scheduling and collaboration - lives in one place.

## Notes

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/ordinal/9SNngH9d5toHVBfb/images/notes.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=9SNngH9d5toHVBfb&q=85&s=ce426213c7ee718779c86dafe26ecef1" alt="Notes" width="1500" height="900" data-path="images/notes.jpg" />

Every post has a **Notes** section in the sidebar for internal context that doesn't appear in the published content. Use it for:

* Creative briefs and guidelines
* Links to reference materials or assets
* Internal instructions for your team

Click **View Notes** in the sidebar to open the full rich text editor. Notes support formatting, links, and task lists.

## Subscribers

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/ordinal/KESJyjE7WOg0l7Ll/images/subscribers-activity.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=KESJyjE7WOg0l7Ll&q=85&s=fe1810145dce18d99e3ac897f10e4206" alt="Subscribers Activity" width="1803" height="585" data-path="images/subscribers-activity.jpg" />

Subscribers receive notifications about a post's activity - comments, status changes, approvals, and more.

**You're automatically subscribed when you:**

* Create the post
* Comment on it
* Are @mentioned
* Are assigned as an approver

**To manually subscribe or unsubscribe:** Click the **Subscribe** or **Unsubscribe** button in the sidebar. You can also add other team members by clicking the subscriber avatars and selecting from your workspace.

<Tip>
  Configure which notifications you receive and how (email, Slack, in-app) in [Notification Settings](/collaboration/notifications).
</Tip>

## Activity

At the bottom of every post, you'll find the **Activity** section - a chronological timeline showing everything that's happened:

* Status changes
* Comments added
* Approvals requested and completed
* Edits and updates

This gives you a complete history of the post from creation to publication.

## Public sharing

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/ordinal/KESJyjE7WOg0l7Ll/images/share-link.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=KESJyjE7WOg0l7Ll&q=85&s=3a3e3e217b5b458a948c8b5b581c3eff" alt="Share Link" width="1500" height="900" data-path="images/share-link.jpg" />

Need to share a post with someone outside your workspace? You can make any post publicly viewable.

1. Click the **link icon** in the post header
2. Toggle **Share public access** on
3. Copy the link and share it

Anyone with the link can view the post (read-only) - no login required. Toggle the setting off to revoke access.

## Duplicating posts

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/ordinal/9SNngH9d5toHVBfb/images/duplicate.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=9SNngH9d5toHVBfb&q=85&s=69ae1fb64180cf539826399d176c1b4d" alt="Duplicate" width="1500" height="900" data-path="images/duplicate.jpg" />

**Duplicate** creates a single copy of a post, including its content, media, labels, and settings. Find it in the duplicate menu (icon in the header).

**Batch Duplicate** creates a recurring series of posts - useful for recurring content like weekly newsletters or monthly updates:

1. Click the duplicate icon → **Batch Duplicate**
2. Set a **start date** for the first duplicate
3. Choose the **frequency** (every X days, weeks, or months)
4. Select how many **occurrences** to create (up to 10)

All duplicates inherit the original's content and settings. You can edit each one individually after creation.

## Archiving and Trash

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/ordinal/9SNngH9d5toHVBfb/images/delete-post.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=9SNngH9d5toHVBfb&q=85&s=364d9dbcd91ceb99558470fb5191cd56" alt="Delete Post" width="1500" height="900" data-path="images/delete-post.jpg" />

To archive a post, click the **...** menu in the header and select **Delete**. The post is moved to **Trash** and will be permanently deleted after 30 days. You can restore it anytime before then from the Trash page.

**To restore an archived post:** Open the post from [Trash](/posts/trash) and click **Restore** in the alert banner, or use the Trash page to manage archived posts.

**To permanently delete immediately:** From an archived post, click **Delete Immediately** in the alert banner. This action cannot be undone.

<Warning>
  Archiving a scheduled post will prevent it from publishing. If the post has already published, archiving it from Ordinal keeps the live post on the social platform by default — for supported channels (LinkedIn), you can opt in to deleting the live post at the same time. See [Deleting Posts](/posts/trash#removing-live-posts-from-social-platforms).
</Warning>
