Edit or delete published content in streams

You can edit content published to your own Facebook Pages directly from Hootsuite streams, and you can delete content published to X, Facebook Pages, and YouTube channels, which also deletes the content from the social network.

This article describes how to do the following in Streams.

Actions you can take in each social network
Facebook	YouTube	X
Edit a Page post Edit a comment Delete a Page post Delete a personal post Delete a comment	Delete a YouTube video	Delete a post

For other social networks, select the timestamp on your post in the stream to open it directly in the social network, and edit or delete from there.

This article describes the new Social OS experience. If you haven't switched yet, select the Classic tab for instructions. Learn more about the Social OS experience.

Edit a Facebook Page post or comment

You can edit posts and comments from My Posts streams. Page posts can't be edited if they've been boosted.

Note: Because of limitations imposed by each social network, editing published content in Streams is not possible with Facebook personal profiles, nor with X, Instagram, or LinkedIn. You can edit these posts directly in the social network where they're published.

Go to Nest, select Streams, and then select the board hosting the Facebook Page stream.
Select More options below the post or comment, and then select Edit.
Make your changes, and then select ENTER to save.

Select More options below the video, and then select Edit.
Make your modifications to the video, and then select Save in the top right.
