# How do I change a post for just one network?

> Write one post for several social accounts, then tailor the text and the network's own options for each account.

You write a post once and send it to several social accounts. Then you can change the text for one account without touching the others. Each network's own options, like a YouTube title or a Pinterest board, are set the same way.

## How the composer shares a post

When you pick more than one account, the composer starts in shared mode. The text box says "This text will be used for all profiles." Whatever you type goes to every account you picked.

Some parts of a post are always shared. Others can be different for each account.

| Shared by every account | Can be different per account |
| - | - |
| Media (images and videos) | The text |
| **Post**, **Reel** or **Story** | Follow-up comments |
| **Labels** | YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok and Facebook options |
| When it goes out | |

<Note>
  Media is always shared. If one account needs a different image or video, make a separate post for that account.
</Note>

## Tailor the text for one account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick all your accounts first">
    Click **New Post** and select every account under **Accounts** on the left. Do this before you tailor anything (see the warning below).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the shared text">
    Type the text most accounts should get. Add your media too.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click an account's avatar">
    A row of avatars sits above the text box, one for each account you picked. Click one. It gets a colored ring, and the text box now holds only that account's version.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit that version">
    Change the text for that account. Add @mentions or #hashtags that only make sense on that network. The other accounts keep the shared text.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the preview">
    The **Post Previews** panel on the right shows how each account's version looks.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once you click an avatar, every edit goes to one account at a time. Click another avatar to edit that account's version. There's no button to go back to shared mode for the same post.

<Warning>
  Adding or removing an account after you tailor the text can undo your changes. The composer may copy one account's text to all of them. Pick your accounts first, then tailor.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  While you tailor one account, type emoji with your keyboard. The emoji button adds the emoji to every account's text, not just the one you're editing.
</Tip>

## Set a network's own options

Some networks need extra details. Their fields only show up when that network's account is active. If you picked one account, it's active already. If you picked several, click the account's avatar first.

| Network | Fields that appear | More help |
| - | - | - |
| YouTube | **Title**, **Category**, **Visibility**, **License** | [YouTube options](/help/posts/youtube-options) |
| Pinterest | **Title**, **Boards**, **Link** | [Pinterest options](/help/posts/pinterest-options) |
| TikTok | **Privacy Status**, **Allow Users to**, **Disclose Commercial Content** | [TikTok options](/help/posts/tiktok-options) |
| Facebook | **Add a button** (for **Post** only) | [Facebook Reels, Stories and buttons](/help/posts/facebook-options) |

For example, say you post to Facebook and YouTube together. Click the YouTube avatar and fill in **Title**. Then click the Facebook avatar to add a button. Each set of fields belongs to its own account.

Follow-up comments work the same way. **Add a comment** only shows while an account is active, and its comments go to that account only. See [Add a follow-up comment](/help/posts/follow-up-comments).

## Before you publish

PublishBuddy checks a few things when you save. If something is missing for one account, you'll see a message and nothing is saved yet. Common ones:

* "Title field is required." means a YouTube account has no **Title**.
* "You must select a Pinterest Board for this post first." means a Pinterest account has no board.
* "Instagram does not support this type of post." means the post has no media. Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest need at least one image or video.

Fix the account it names, then save again.
