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.
