7. A new window will appear when you've finished with the option to "Make a copy" or head to the "Content Planner." If I'm re-purposing the content across more than one social media challenge, I always click "Make a copy" which takes me straight back into the "Your design" page.

8. To view "Content Planner," return to either "Home" or "Your designs." On the left hand side you'll see a link to it. From this page you can edit any of your posts and/ or change the date and time they're scheduled for.
