After you've created or drafted a social post in HubSpot, you can return to edit it later. While you cannot edit a social post that has already been published, you can clone the post, make any additional edits, then republish the new post. Learn more about reviewing your published social posts.
You can also delete a drafted or scheduled post if you decide you don't want to publish it or delete a post you've already published.
Please note: you cannot edit or delete an image on a Facebook post you published through HubSpot.
Edit draft or scheduled social posts
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Social.
- In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Scheduled or Drafts.
- Click the social post you want to edit.
- In the right panel, make your edits to the social post, then click Update scheduled post, Update draft, or Save as draft.
Clone and edit published social posts
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Social.
- Hover over the social post you want to clone and edit.
- Click Clone.
- In the right panel, make your edits to the social post, then click Publish post now or Schedule post.
Delete drafted or scheduled social posts
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Social.
- In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Scheduled or Drafts.
- Select the checkbox next to the posts you want to delete.
- At the top of the table, click Delete.

Delete published social posts
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Social.
- Hover over the social post to delete, then click the Actions dropdown menu and select Delete.
- In the dialog box, click Delete post to confirm the deletion.
Please note:
- Only posts published via HubSpot can be deleted from the social tool. Externally published posts cannot be deleted through HubSpot and must be deleted directly from their respective platforms.
- Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter posts can be deleted through HubSpot after they are published. Due to Instagram's API limitations, Instagram posts cannot be deleted through HubSpot once published and must be deleted directly on Instagram.
- Deleting a post externally will not delete it in HubSpot. If a post is deleted from the social platform, the post and associated data will still display in HubSpot. Any attempts to view the post on the social platform from HubSpot will result in an error. To remove the post from your social tool, you can delete it in HubSpot as well.
