What works

Hivenza warns you before scheduling when a file breaks the network’s rules.
Questions
Does it work for personal profiles?
No. Facebook only lets tools publish to Pages, not to personal profiles.
Can I post the same story to Instagram?
Yes. Pick both accounts in the composer; each gets its own story.
