Media gives a post context and attention. Add the right asset to the draft, then review the crop, preview, and platform fit before scheduling or publishing.

What this guide helps you do

• Attach media from the media library or upload flow.
• Use selected media in AI-assisted drafts.
• Review platform previews before publishing.

Before you start

• Prepare the image, video, or document your team wants to use.
• Confirm the media is approved for the campaign.
• Know whether each platform supports the file type.

Do it manually

1. Open the draft post.
2. Use the media picker or attachment control.
3. Choose the asset from the library or upload a new one.
4. Review the preview for each selected platform.
5. Adjust the caption, crop, or asset choice if the preview is weak.
6. Save, schedule, or request approval.

Ask Faster AI

• Use the selected image and write a LinkedIn post that explains the service outcome shown in the image.
• Attach this PDF to the post and write a short caption inviting people to download it.
• Suggest which of the selected images best fits this announcement before I schedule it.

Review before publishing or scheduling

• Check image crop and readability on mobile.
• Confirm the media matches the claim in the caption.
• Avoid uploading customer images or documents unless you have permission.

Common issues and fixes

• If the preview does not show media, reselect the asset and save again.
• If a platform rejects the media, use a supported size, type, or shorter video.
• If AI references the wrong asset, select the exact media item and ask it to use that selection.

Use it in daily operations

• Before scheduling or publishing, preview the post in each channel, check media crop, links, approval status, campaign context, and timezone.
• If Faster AI drafts copy or creative direction, keep the result as a draft until the responsible teammate reviews brand, claims, dates, and calls to action.
• After the post is live, review delivery or engagement signals and decide whether the campaign needs a follow-up post, Audience, or customer task.
