Although users already have the option to schedule "Live" videos up to 90 days in advance, that didn't apply to grid posts until now.

So, if you're one of the few with early access, how do you take advantage?

首先,create a grid post as usual. Once you've finished editing it and see options to tag people, add a location and share, navigate to the bottom and select "advanced settings." From there, you can choose "schedule this post" and set up the date and time that work for you.

If you're ready to start scheduling your content but don't have the option in the app just yet, third-party apps like Planoly and Buffer can help you make that happen anyway.
