# Add and switch between X accounts

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

Canonical: https://ownpost.fyi/docs/guides/multiple-accounts

## 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.

```
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.
