Add and switch between X accounts

Keep each account's posts and X publishing separate under one owner login.

Before you begin

A signed-in workspace. Adding an account label does not require connecting X.

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Account & data → Accounts. In X accounts, choose Add account, enter a New account name such as Personal or Studio, then choose Add account in the editor.

  2. Choose Switch beside the new account, or choose it from the Switch X account menu. Resolve any unsaved-change prompt before switching; the workspace reopens Posts for the selected account.

  3. For API publishing, open Settings → Connections → X publishing while that account is selected. Connect and test the intended X profile. Check its username before approving any delivery.

  4. Use the account switcher before writing or planning for another account. Choose Rename and Save name in X accounts to change a private account label; this does not change the public X username.

  5. When asking an assistant to manage another account's posts, name the account explicitly and ask it to confirm the destination before changing or publishing content.

Example request

Use Personal for your own writing and Studio for a product account. Name Studio explicitly in assistant requests; changing the browser switcher does not select the assistant’s account.

Try with your connected assistant
Use the ownpost skill to list my OwnPost accounts, select Studio for this task, and show its saved drafts.

Check the result

The switcher shows the intended account, its Posts view is separate, and any connected X username matches the destination you want.

Troubleshooting

If posts appear missing, check which account is selected. Adding an account does not move existing posts or create a new owner login. Another open tab keeps its original account; check each tab before editing. A failed switch leaves the current account in place.
