Understand post states
Draft, pending, in review, being posted, posted, failed, and deleted. Core.
Overview
Draft, pending, in review, being posted, posted, failed, and deleted. Core. Use it as a reference while you work in MediaFox or when you need to interpret the information on screen. The calendar and post details show when content is planned, its review and publishing state, and the actions still available.
Why this matters
Understand post states affects how you interpret information and choose the next action in MediaFox. The calendar and post details show when content is planned, its review and publishing state, and the actions still available.
Read the current organization, page, platform, date range, status, and permission context together. The same label can have a different practical meaning when one of those inputs changes.
Key points
Use the following points as the working definition for this reference. They are taken from the current MediaFox product surface and should be checked again when an external platform changes its behavior.
- Draft.
- Pending.
- In review.
- Being posted.
- Posted.
- Failed.
- Deleted.
- Core.
Use this reference in MediaFox
Open Calendar in the organization navigation and locate the control, status, metric, or identifier described above. Compare the value on screen with the selected scope rather than reading it in isolation.
- Confirm the scope
Check the current organization, connected pages, platforms, date range, filters, and lifecycle state.
- Read the supporting context
Inspect labels, tooltips, empty states, warnings, and permission messages next to the value or control.
- Choose the next action
Continue only when the information supports the intended outcome: the post appears on the correct date with the expected state and schedule.
Troubleshooting
If the result is missing or an action is unavailable, do not assume the data was lost. MediaFox can hide controls because of role, page access, organization allowlists, add-ons, lifecycle state, or an external platform limitation.
- Clear calendar filters and confirm the visible date range, timezone, page, platform, and post state.
- Open post details to review warnings, approval state, and platform publishing results.
- Refresh after a move, review action, or background publish if the calendar has not updated yet.
Availability and access
This feature does not require an add-on, although permissions or organization settings may still apply.
