After your post publishes
A published message can't be edited. It opens as a read-only preview, and Save is replaced by View Post. Nothing you change in CoSchedule afterward changes the post on Bluesky.
To see how the post performed, see View analytics on a social message or campaign. On Professional and Suite, mentions, replies to your Bluesky posts and direct messages come into Social Inbox. See Networks Social Inbox supports on each plan.
If your Bluesky posts stop publishing, the connection may have dropped. See Connect a Bluesky account to reconnect it.
