Good to know

• Cross-posting is on by default. Every connected account is selected when you open a new social post, and you can exclude any of them before scheduling.
• Riverside creates a separate post per platform so analytics, edits, and delivery statuses are tracked individually.
• If a required field, like a caption, is missing for any selected platform, that platform is outlined red and you can only schedule posts once the field is filled in.
