    Social Sets are used to organize your social profiles. This article explains what Social Sets are and how to create and manage them.

    What are Social Sets?

    A Social Set is a set of social profiles that can include 1 of each social profile (that is, 1 social set can contain 1 Instagram, 1 Facebook, 1 Twitter, 1 Pinterest, 1 TikTok, 1 YouTube, 1 LinkedIn, 1 Threads, and 1 Snapchat profile).

    This means to add 2 Instagram profiles to your Later account, you need to be on a plan that allows at least 2 Social Sets. Social Sets help you organize your social profiles based on brand or identity. 

    Social Sets vs. Access Groups

    Social Sets are sets of social profiles, while Access Groups contain Social Sets. Access Groups help you manage and restrict access to your Social Sets, photos, and videos. You can add users to an Access Group to give them access to the Social Sets and Media Library within that Access Group.

    What does Collabs Creator mean?

    If your Social Set has a Collabs Creator tag, it means this Social Set is attached to a creator profile in Later for creators.

    If you change the social profiles in this Social Set, those changes will also be reflected in its creator profile.

    If you delete this Social Set, the associated creator profile will also be deleted, and removed from any campaigns to which it has been added. 

    Note: Unlike a regular Social Set, a Collabs Creator Social Set won't automatically be deleted if you remove all of its social profiles. To delete a Collabs Creator Social Set—and therefore remove its creator profile from the creator marketplace—first remove all of its profiles and then select the Delete button.   

    Create Social Sets

    Social Sets are created as you add an connect new profiles. This means you won't see all the Social Sets available in your plan right away. To create a new Social Set:

    1. From Later for desktop, go to Settings > Social Sets & Access Groups (or click here)
    2. Select Edit next to the Access Group you'd like to add a Social Set to:

    3. Select Add Social Profile:

    4. From here, you can add a new social profile to your existing Social Set or select an empty slot in a new one:

      • You create a Social Set by selecting an empty slot in a new one when adding a social profile
    Note: The number of Social Sets available depends on your Later plan. Free & Starter plans have access to 1 Social Set.

    Manage Social Sets

    You can move your existing social profiles between Social Sets and Access Groups

    Important: Moving a social profile may impact other features you are using, such as Later for creators. In that case, you'll receive a warning outlining the impact so you can decide if you want to proceed with moving it. If you move a social profile to another Access Group, that profile’s scheduled posts will move to the other Access Group, but all media will stay in the original Access Group.

    Here’s how to organize your Social Sets:

    1. From Later for Desktop, go to Settings > Social Sets & Access Groups (or click here)
    2. Select Organize Social Profiles
    3. Drag and drop your social profiles between Social Sets and Access Groups
      Note: If you only see 1 Social Set here but you're on a plan that supports multiple Social Sets, you need to create them first. 
    4. Select Save Changes
    Tip: You can drag and drop an entire Social Set to another Access Group at once using the 4-sided arrow to the left of the Social Set:
