Your "History" is where you review everything you've published, see which posts performed best, and re-add your winners to your queue.

In this article, you'll learn:
🗂️ KNOW your 3 History tabs
1. Find your historical posts
To keep track of what happened to every post you've published, open the "History" tab. You'll land on three tabs inside it:
"Posted" — your published posts (the focus of this article).
"Archived" — posts you've set aside from your active history but can still re-use.
"Failed" — posts that didn't publish. To fix those, see "How do I manage my failed posts?".
2. Open the Posted tab
Click "Posted" to see everything you've successfully published. This is where you analyze performance and re-use your best content.
🔍 How to FIND the posts you want
3. Filter by profile and switch views
Check and uncheck your accounts to filter by posts from specific profiles.
Then switch between views depending on how you want to review your posts.
Use:
"List" for a detailed chronological view
"Calendar" to see when posts were published
"Grid" for a quick visual overview of your content.
4. Pull in all your posts
Set the publisher dropdown to "Any Publisher" to include posts you published outside Post Planner, then click "Refresh posts" to load your full history. This can take a few minutes.
Use the search field and the filter options (time period, Content type, Favorites) to quickly narrow down the posts in view.
📊 How to SPOT your top performers
5. Sort by what matters
Choose how you want to sort your published posts:
"Shares" to surface your most-shared content.
"Likes" to surface your top-performing posts.
"Comments" to find the posts that sparked the most conversation.
"Clicks" to find the posts that drove the most clicks.
"Time" to view your newest or oldest posts first.
Note: Some filters may be limited based on the social network's API.
After sorting, toggle between "Descending" or "Ascending" to change the order of your posts.
6. Check the engagement on any post
Each post shows its Likes, comments, shares, and more, so you can spot winners at a glance.
Mark a favorite by clicking the heart icon to find the post again later in your Favorites.
♻️ How to RE-USE a single post
7. Choose what happens next with a published post
Click the three dots on any post to view, edit and re-post, re-queue, copy, or archive it.
Check the recycle icon to see whether a post is already set to recycle.
New to recycling? See "Should I recycle or repeat my posts?" for when to use each.
☑️ How to RE-USE your best posts in bulk
8. Select and act on many at once
Use the checkboxes to select several posts (or select all), then open the "Bulk action" menu to re-queue, copy, or archive them together.
TIP: This is one of the quickest ways to fill your queue: sort your history by engagement, pick your proven winners, and re-add them in a couple of clicks.
🚀 What to do NEXT
Your History is always there when you want to review what worked, revisit older content, or bring past posts back into your workflow.
