How do I publish X Articles?

1. Connect X in Settings > Channels (see Connecting your social accounts).
2. On the Write page, click Long Form and write the title and the piece.
3. Click Preview & Publish at the top right. Click ··· (Long form platforms) and switch X on.
4. Click the X Article tile above the preview to see the piece as X shows it. Desktop / Phone switches between a computer and a phone view.
5. Click Continue, then choose Post now, Schedule (pick a time) or Add to queue (the next open time in your Long Form queue), and confirm.

Once it's out, the Published bar has a View on X Article link.

Yes. X only lets accounts with X Premium publish Articles. Click the X row in Settings > Channels: X Premium says Active when your account has it. If you just bought Premium, X can take up to 24 hours to show it to other apps; publish anyway, because Typeshare still sends the Article to X. Without Premium, X rejects the Article, while Substack still gets the piece.

Up to 100 characters. With X on and a longer title, nothing can be published: the X tile is greyed out and Typeshare tells you how long the title is. Shorten it, or switch X off to publish everywhere else. Typeshare checks this before asking X, so a long title never uses up one of your Articles for the day.

Yes. In Preview & Publish, open Covers. Each platform gets its own cover in its own shape: 5:2 for an X Article, 3:2 for Substack. Click Add to Upload an image, Choose from Media or Generate using Designer (see Designer). When you pick a Designer cover, it's redrawn for X's 5:2 header. X Articles have no subtitle.

Yes. Switch on both in Long form platforms. Substack and X go first, and the piece goes up on your Typeshare profile once they're out. On Substack (see How do I schedule Substack Notes?) you still choose whether it's emailed to subscribers, whether it's for paid subscribers only, and its tags. Substack-only blocks, like Paywall or Subscribe button, are left out of the X Article.

To put a part on one platform only, type / and choose Only on X (or Only on Substack, Only on Typeshare).

X lets each account publish 5 Articles a day, and start 10. Every try counts, including tries X refused. Once they're used, the piece waits as a draft on Typeshare until you can publish again (Substack still gets it).

You can edit the Typeshare page, but the copy already sent to X doesn't change. Edit it on X if you need to.
