What is a Content Library on SocialPilot?

A Content Library in SocialPilot is a centralized hub where you can store and organize reusable content. It allows users to save various pieces of content—such as images, videos, hashtags, captions, and more—for easy access when creating social media posts. This feature reduces the need for manually copying and pasting repetitive content, saving time and streamlining the content creation process. All team members can contribute to and use this library, making collaboration more efficient.

You can even save drafts, scheduled posts, or published posts for future use. With the Content Library, you no longer need separate documents or spreadsheets to store information—everything is centralized and ready to use.

Check out a quick overview of the Content Library feature in SocialPilot:

How to Access Content Library?

Here is how you can access the Content Library on SocialPilot:

From the left menu bar of the dashboard, click on Content.
You will find two options. From the list, click on Library.

All the saved contents will be visible in the Library. The content cards most recently created will appear first in the queue. By default, all types of content will be visible, but you can click on Hashtags or Posts to see all the contents of that type. You can easily sort out and find the content you want from the Library with the help of filters.

Search box: Type in the keywords of your saved Content to find your post.
Filter Items: You can filter content based on Types, Teams, and Tags.

How to Create and Save Content in the Content Library?

The Content Library is categorized into Hashtags and Posts for easy access:

Saving Hashtags

Go to Content > Library from the left menu.
Click on Add New Content and select Add Hashtag.
In the pop-up, fill in the required fields:
- Name: Label for your hashtag.
- Description: Enter the content for the hashtag (mandatory field, with character and hashtag counters).
- Tags: Classify the hashtag (up to 10 tags).

Click Save to store the hashtag in the Library. You can edit or delete it later by clicking on the card.

Adding Posts From the Library

Click Add New Content and select Add Post.
Add a Name to the post and draft it. Add Tags if you want to.
The post will be saved as an Original Draft or under a specific platform tab (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Instagram).
You can customize posts by adding images, videos, emojis, GIFs, hashtags, and more. Facebook and Instagram even allow you to add the first comment with the post.
Once you are done, click Save.

Saving Posts From Drafts or Manage Posts

You can save drafts or scheduled posts directly from the Posts section:

From Drafts: Hover over the draft and click Save to Library.
From Manage Posts: Save any post from the Queued, Unscheduled, Error, Delivered, or Pending Review lists to the Library by clicking on Save to Library.

💡Note: Posts saved from platform-specific tabs will be copied to the Original Draft in the Library and may lose some customizations.

How to Import Content in Bulk to Library?

SocialPilot allows users to import posts in bulk and save them to the content library for later use, as well as schedule them in one go immediately.

The process of saving bulk posts to the library is very similar to that of scheduling them, involving the use of a CSV file.

Create CSV File

Creating a CSV file to upload content in bulk to the library can be done using Excel.

The data has to be categorized column-wise. The columns in the file are as follows:

1st Column: Any text-based content, including captions/descriptions, hashtags, and links.
2nd Column: Links to images, up to 35 URLs, separated by semi-colons (;).
3rd Column: First comments for posts.
4th Column: This space is for any tags (up to 10) you want to assign to the content.
5th Column: Label the content type between Post or Hahstag.
6th Column: Give a title to your content to make it discoverable in the library.

Here’s an example of how your data should look in Excel:

Once you have your content in the above format, save the CSV file as described in our article.

Import Posts in Bulk

Now, follow these steps to save up to 500 posts to your SocialPilot library at once. We will describe two ways to do it.

Log into SocialPilot and click on Content >> Library.
Click on the Add New Content dropdown and select Bulk Import.
Now drag and drop or Browse and select the CSV file with all your content details.
Once you select and upload your CSV, the preview of your content will appear from where you can edit and add details like the first comment, title, tags, images, etc.
Once you’re done perfecting your content, click on Import to complete the process.

Thus, all your posts from the CSV file will be saved into the Content Library in SocialPilot. They will be saved as individual items rather than a group of assets. You will be able to find each of them using their type or the titles you assigned while saving them.

How to Use Saved Content for Posts?

Once your content is stored in the Library, you can quickly add it to your social media posts.

Add Items Directly from the Library Dashboard

Go to the Library and find the content card you want to use.
Hover over the card and click Add.
This opens the Create Post window, with your selected content automatically added to the post description.

Add Content From the Create Post Module

From the Create Post window, compose the post by putting in the relevant information.
Now click on the Add Post from Library located below. The post will be saved to the Content Library.

👉 Note: Users can bulk select and delete posts from the Content Library.
