How to give each platform its own version of a post
Press the platform's tile in the composer's accounts row and start typing: that platform gets its own version, and the others keep the shared text.
The first account's text is the Buzz, and every other platform follows it until you change that platform's text.
Revert puts one platform back on the shared text, and Use this text everywhere puts every platform on the text in view.
Give a platform its own text
1. In the composer, press the platform's tile in the accounts row.
2. Type, add or remove a picture, or apply an Ask Buzz rewrite. The first change copies the Buzz into that platform's version and makes the change there.
There's no button to press first. The platform's tile gets a honey dot, and the preview marks it Own text. When you schedule or post, the popover says which platforms get their own text.
Note: A version belongs to a platform, not an account. Two LinkedIn accounts in one Buzz share LinkedIn's text.
Let Buzz rewrite it for the platform
1. Press the platform's tile in the accounts row.
2. Press Ask Buzz and pick the rewrite named after the platform in view, such as Rewrite for X.
3. Compare the versions and press Apply on the one you want.
The version you apply becomes that platform's own text, written in your Hive voice.
Go back to one text
With a platform's own text in view, the line under the accounts row has two buttons, and each asks for a second press before it acts.
- Revert drops this platform's version and puts it back on the Buzz.
- Use this text everywhere makes the text in view the Buzz and drops every other platform's version. The first press turns it into Replace the other texts.
Questions
Can X get a thread while LinkedIn gets one post?
Yes. A version holds whole posts with their pictures, so X can carry a thread of its own while LinkedIn gets a single post.
Is the first comment part of a platform's version?
No. One first comment goes to every platform that takes one, and you write a separate one for a platform in the comment box itself.
Which text does Hive check score?
The text in view. Press another platform's tile and Hive check follows it.
