Publish manually on X
Copy, attach, publish on X, then record what actually happened.
On this page
Before you begin
A saved post/thread and your own X session. No X API credentials are required.
Steps
Open Post now. If X API publishing is available, choose Publish manually; both methods remain available for each post. Step 1 lists the thread parts in order.
Use Copy text for the first part. Use Download image or Download video for its attachments and Copy description where an image description exists. Video descriptions belong in the post text.
Step 2: choose Open X to publish. Paste the text and attach the matching photos, GIF or video, including image descriptions where provided. For a thread, add every later part in the same conversation. You can tick I attached this post’s media and image descriptions on X as you go.
Publish on X yourself. Returning to the handoff restores copied/media/opened progress in this browser; changing the writing or attachments resets that progress.
Step 3: enter the actual Published at time and optional X post link. Check I have published this on X, then choose Record as published.
Check the Published status. Add measurements from Post results when available.
A practical example
For a thread with one image per part, copy and attach each part in order on X. After publication, record the actual time and the first post’s link in OwnPost, then add results when measurements are available.
Check the result
The workspace records your actual publication; copying or opening X alone never marks it published.
Troubleshooting
Handoff progress is a checklist, not proof of publication. An active API job blocks manual handoff until resolved or cancelled. If X's outcome is unclear, check X before retrying. Browser progress is not included in a server backup.
