# Scheduling posts

> How scheduling works: time slots, device windows, captions, and what the statuses mean.

Once a video is approved, you schedule it to an account and Pamba posts it from a real device at the chosen time.

## Scheduling a post

From a project (or by asking the agent), pick the account, set the caption, and choose a time, or let Pamba pick the next available slot. Posts publish through physical phones, and each phone has a daily posting window, so slots are real capacity: if a time is taken, Pamba books the nearest free one.

## Post statuses

- **Pending**: scheduled, waiting for its time.
- **In progress**: a device is posting it right now.
- **Posted**: live on the platform; analytics start tracking it.
- **Failed**: something stopped it (see [When a post fails](/help/failed-posts)); you can edit, re-approve if needed, and retry.
- **Cancelled**: you called it off; the slot was freed.

## Editing a scheduled post

Pending posts can be rescheduled, recaptioned, or moved to a different account. Failed posts can be edited too, but their new time is picked automatically when you hit Retry.

## Cross-posting

Instagram mirrors can go out alongside TikTok posts, and an Instagram post can share to a linked Facebook account. Mirrors follow their primary post: reschedule the TikTok and the mirrors move with it; retry a failed group and the whole set revives together.
