Have you found an unverified Instagram post on your Calendar? This article will outline what an unverified post is, and how to fix it. 

What's an Unverified Post?

When using notification publishing, an unverified post happens when Later isn't able to find the post on your Instagram feed after you've started the publishing process. There are two reasons this may happen: 

1. The post was not fully published after tapping Open in Instagram 
2. The post was significantly edited in instagram before publishing, making it unrecognizable to Later 

Later does it's best to make sure your posts are successful, so we look for the post a few minutes after it's been posted, to make sure it worked. If we can't find it automatically, we flag the post on your calendar as "unverified". This gives you the chance to verify or reschedule the post.

There are three actions that you can take with an unverified post: Verify, Reschedule, or Discard.

If you've published the post successfully, you can manually verify the post. Here's how: 

1. Click the unverified post on your Calendar 
2. Click Verify Post
3. Within Later, you'll see your instagram feed. Select the matching post there.
   Note: If you don't see the matching post, it's likely the post was not successfully published. In this case, click Match not found? and either reschedule or discard the post. 
4. Click Verify Post > Verify 
   

If you didn't finish the publishing process but still want publish the post, you can reschedule it.

1. Open the unverified post on your Calendar
2. Click Reschedule
3. You'll be taken back to the post builder, where you can set the new time and date
