Post Management, Editing, Pricing, and Co-Sellers
How authors edit posts after publishing, what pricing-locked means inside edit mode, and how co-seller setup appears on managed posts.
Where you see this in the app
These controls appear for the post author on /posts/{postId}.
The main author actions are:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
Edit post | Open the author editing form |
Delete post | Remove the post and return to the feed |
| metadata editor | Update audience tags, hashtags, and mentions |
| pricing section | Configure or review monetization state |
Edit post and delete post
The top-level author actions are intentionally simple.
| Action | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
Edit post | Change the post contents and metadata |
Cancel edit | Close the editor without saving |
Delete post | Permanently remove the post after confirmation |
The delete flow is framed as a destructive cleanup action, not as a reversible archive state.
Author edit fields and metadata
Inside edit mode, the author can update the post’s main fields and metadata.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
Title | Main headline for the post |
Description | Optional long-form text |
Audience tags | Who can see the post |
Hashtags & mentions | Discovery and collaborator-credit metadata |
| schedule field | When the post is planned to happen |
The editor is not only for typo fixes. It is the main post-authoring control surface after publication.
Pricing locked and price summary
Once a post is already priced, the author sees the locked price summary instead of the initial monetization setup flow.
That state means:
- buyers already see this configured price in checkout,
- the pricing model is live,
- the post has moved from setup mode to managed-sales mode.
This is why the UI explicitly says pricing is locked once enabled.
Co-seller setup and author intent
Managed posts can also carry co-seller information.
From an end-user author standpoint, this means a post can become a shared-revenue offer instead of a solo sale.
The important mental model is:
- author defines the post and timing,
- author decides whether it is priced,
- author can assign or review co-seller sharing where relevant,
- the post then acts as a monetized offer rather than just a check-in.
