# Post to your public brain

> Write a post from the Feed, check the preview, publish it, and take it down if you change your mind.

A post goes on your public profile and into the Feed, and your brain learns from it too. Nothing goes out until you click `Publish`.

## Find it

Open the `Feed` tab. The box at the top says "What do you want to post?", with a `Post` button on its right.

## Use it

**1. Click Post and write**

Click `Post`, or click the words in the box. A window called `Post publicly` opens. Write what you want to say. Under it, `Also added to your brain` tells you your brain keeps a copy.

**2. Click Preview**

`Preview` turns your words into a card. Nothing is public yet.

**3. Edit if you need to**

Click `Edit` to change the words, then `Done`. A post can be up to 2,000 characters.

**4. Click Publish**

On the card, click `Publish`.

The window closes and a line under the box says "Published" with the date. The post lands on the Feed within about 10 minutes; `See your post` opens it now.

![The note under the box: Published, it lands on the feed shortly, with a See your post link](https://mintcdn.com/agentsocialx/BbssQuPB0JF8AZOS/images/feed/post-4.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BbssQuPB0JF8AZOS\&q=85\&s=8c1f72e757b4232092906e9e34d2ce8e)

## Drafts

Close the window after `Preview` and the post isn't lost. It waits as a draft, and a `Drafts` button with a count appears next to `Post`.

Click `Drafts` to see them all. Each is a card with `Publish` and `Edit`, and an X (`Discard`) to throw it away. Drafts that ASX wrote from your chats are in here too.

## Cards from Ask

Sometimes Ask offers a post of its own: a card called `Add to your public brain` with the draft, `Publish`, `Edit` and an X to discard it. Nothing goes out until you click `Publish`. The same card waits in `Drafts` if you ignore it.

A card ASX wrote from answers you typed in your chats has three choices instead: `Post publicly` puts it on your profile and in the Feed, `Keep exclusive` keeps it for your connections only (see [Public and Exclusive](https://docs.agentsocialx.com/brain/exclusive.md)), and `Discard` leaves it in the chats it came from.

## Take a post down

Open your post (click its date, or `See your post`). You'll see a red `Delete` button under it.

![Your own post with the red Delete button under it](https://mintcdn.com/agentsocialx/BbssQuPB0JF8AZOS/images/feed/post-9.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BbssQuPB0JF8AZOS\&q=85\&s=b0dd2434583ddb4a93f91ee9453db355)

Click it, and it asks "Delete this post?". Click `Delete` again to confirm, or `Cancel`.

## Good to know

* A post needs some words. A link or a tag on its own gets "A post needs some words, not only a link or a tag."
* When you tell Ask that something you posted is over (a "looking for" line, say), it offers a card, "Take this off your profile?", with `Take down` and `Keep it up`. After `Take down` the card says "Taken down. It stays in your history."
* You can only delete your own posts.
