Before you start
Nothing. You can start right away.
Steps
Open "Home"
Choose "Home" in the main menu on a computer, or tap "Home" in the bottom bar on a phone.
You should see: Your Home page, with a card called "Autopilot Mode".
Go to the cardFind the "Autopilot Mode" card
Look for the card with the switch on it.
You should see: A line under the title that reads "Autopilot is on" or "Autopilot is off".
Read the switch
The big label beside the switch is your mode. It reads "Autopilot Mode" when the switch is on and "Review Mode" when it's off.
You should see: You know which mode you're in.
Open "Settings" to double-check
On a computer, choose "Settings" in the main menu. On a phone, tap "More", then Settings. Pick "Brand and content" and look at "Scheduling".
You should see: The same switch, labeled "Autopilot Mode" or "Review Mode".
Go straight to the switch
What each label means
| You see | Your mode | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Review Mode, and Autopilot is off | Review Mode | You tap Generate posts and swipe right on the posts you want. |
| Autopilot Mode, and Autopilot is on | Autopilot Mode | Autopilot plans posts overnight and puts them on your schedule. |
If you can't see the switch
The switch only shows for team members who can see Settings. If yours is missing, ask the account owner. Then see how to turn on Autopilot Mode or how to turn it off.
What happens next
If you're in Review Mode, nothing goes out unless you scheduled it. If you're in Autopilot Mode, posts appear on your schedule before they go out.
- Learn how Review Mode works.
- See what's coming in how to read your schedule.
- Change your mind? Here's how to approve a post in Review Mode.
If something's not right
Home says one thing and Settings says another
Reload the page. Both read the same setting, so one of them is out of date. If it still doesn't match, flip the switch in Settings again. See how to turn off Autopilot Mode.
I turned on Autopilot Mode but no posts showed up
Autopilot plans overnight, so give it until the next morning. If your schedule is still empty, see what to do when a post didn't go out.
I'm in Review Mode and my schedule is empty
That's normal. In Review Mode you add posts yourself. See how to approve a post.
