How many users can collaborate on one particular channel?

Why does a client role have limited access/competencies

Kontentino has the most client-friendly interface providing clients with only the information they need to have access to. We see the client as a gatekeeper who makes sure that every piece of content meets the quality standards of their brand.

Therefore client is able to see live post previews, comment on them, approve them or send them for rework.

Additionally, they are able to add content ideas to the inspiration calendar (brand anniversary, product launch etc.) and upload images into albums.

How can I invite other members to Kontentino?

Just go to 'Settings' - 'Users', click on the plus sign and add another user with a specific role into your account. After sending them an email invitation they can easily create their own profile.

Why is it necessary to export a post after being completed?

Even after your post is created and you want to publish it, some changes still may need to be done eventually. Therefore we wanted to give the possibility to review your posts for the last time before actually posting them on the channel (account).

Can I edit my posts after being exported and scheduled for social media platforms?

With all social media networks EXCEPT FOR Facebook, you can make changes in Kontentino until the time of publishing, since they do not have a scheduling system and all posts are being scheduled by Kontentino.

For Facebook - once your Facebook post is scheduled it will be sent to the “Scheduled posts” section on Facebook. From this point, any changes made in Kontentino will not be reflected on Facebook. In these cases, we recommend you to delete this post from Facebook, make all the changes in Kontentino and then schedule it again. This way, you can make sure that the post you see in Kontentino and the post that will be published on Facebook look identical.

Can I create content without scheduling it?

Yes, you can. If you save it as a draft (seen only by you) or if you do not export the posts to the particular social media network. Moreover, you are able to write down ideas for the upcoming posts in the inspiration calendar.
