# Evergreen posts

Share a post again on a schedule, stop after a number of shares or on a date, rotate through different wordings, and see which posts can't become evergreen.

Evergreen posts are shared again on a schedule, so good content keeps working. Each share can use a different wording.

Evergreen builds on **Repeat Post Every** in the composer (see [Repeating posts](https://postdelegate.com/docs/posts.md#repeating-posts)). A repeating post is already shared on a fixed interval. Evergreen adds a way to stop and a set of wordings to rotate through.

## Make a post evergreen

1. On the calendar, point at a scheduled post or a draft to show its actions.
2. Choose the repeat icon, **Make evergreen**. The **Evergreen post** window opens.
3. Under **Share again every**, enter a number and pick **Days** or **Weeks**. The interval can be from 1 day to 1 year.
4. Under **Stop sharing**, pick one:
   - **Never, keep sharing**.
   - **After a number of shares**, from 1 to 100 re-shares. The first publish does not count.
   - **On a date**. Choose the **Last day**, which must be in the future.
5. Optionally add **Other wordings**. See below.
6. Choose **Make evergreen**.

A repeating post shows its interval on the calendar, for example "Evergreen: every week" or "Evergreen: every 3 days". Choose it to open the same window, change the stop rule or wordings, and choose **Save**.

## Other wordings

Add up to 10 other wordings with **Add a wording**. Shares rotate through the original text and these versions, in order: the first publish uses the original, the next share the first wording, and so on, then back to the original.

- Wordings are plain text only.
- Each wording must fit the length limit of every channel on the post. A wording that is too long is refused with the channel's limit.
- Wordings change the text only. Media and channel settings stay the same on every share.

## What you can change later

| Change | Before the first share | After the first share |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Interval | Yes | No. Stop evergreen and duplicate the post to start a new schedule. |
| Stop rule | Yes | Yes |
| Wordings | Yes | Yes |

The window shows how many times the post was shared again so far and the dates of the next shares.

## Stop sharing

Open the evergreen window and choose **Stop evergreen**. The post will not be shared again. Shares that already went out stay on the calendar.

A post that has finished re-sharing, because it reached its number of shares or its last day, cannot be restarted. Duplicate it to share it on a new schedule.

## What cannot become evergreen

- A post that was already published without a repeat interval. Duplicate it and make the copy evergreen.
- A post that failed to publish. Fix it and schedule it again first.

If a share fails to publish, the chain of shares stops. Fix the post and schedule it again.
