## What every post has

- **A brand.** Posts are always written for one brand, in its voice.
- **Accounts.** One or more connected accounts of that brand.
- **Text, media or both.** Some networks need media. See [Networks](https://social9.com/docs/networks).
- **A status.** Draft, waiting for approval, scheduled, posted, or didn't post.

All times are in your workspace timezone. Change it in **Dashboard → Workspace**.
