How do I write and schedule X threads?

Typeshare has a thread editor for X, Threads and Bluesky: write the whole thread in one place, see each post's character count, add images to any post, and publish now or schedule. The same thread can go to LinkedIn and Substack Notes as a single post.

How do I write a thread?

Open a post on the Write page with X (or Threads or Bluesky) switched on, then:

  • Press ⌘ Enter (Mac) or Ctrl Enter (Windows) to start the next post.
  • Or press Enter on an empty line at the end of a post to start a new one.
  • Click the + in a post's toolbar to add an empty post below it.
  • Press Backspace at the very start of a post to merge it into the one above.

Each post in the thread has its own character count: 280 on X (4,000 with X Premium), 500 on Threads and 300 on Bluesky.

Can I schedule a thread?

Yes. Click Add to Queue to take the next free time in your X queue, or choose Schedule for later to pick a day and time. You can edit a scheduled thread until it goes out.

Can I add images or video to a thread?

Yes. Each post in the thread can have its own images or video. You can also drag or paste images straight into a post.

How does a thread look on LinkedIn?

Switch on LinkedIn too and the same thread goes out there as one post, with a blank line where each separate post was. Substack Notes work the same way. Turn off Sync edits to write a different version for LinkedIn (see Can I post to X and LinkedIn at the same time?).

Can I write long posts on X instead?

Yes. With X Premium, a single post can be up to 4,000 characters. For longer pieces, the Long Form editor publishes an X Article (X Premium needed), and can send the same piece to Substack and your Typeshare profile at the same time.

Can AI turn my writing into threads?

On the All-Access plan, the X Agent turns your own writing (your past posts, newsletters and notes in your Digital Brain, or a link you share) into X posts and threads. It fills your X queue on the days and times you chose and publishes on schedule. It never invents stories, numbers or opinions, and in Pilot mode nothing goes out until you approve it.

Are there thread templates?

Yes. The Templates library has ready-made outlines for posts and threads, LinkedIn posts and Atomic Essays: a proven structure with blanks to fill in, so you never start from an empty page. You can also save any of your own posts as a template.
