Library: RSS feeds and saved snippets

Library (/app/library) has two tabs: RSS feeds, which brings in articles from blogs and news sites so you can post about them, and Content library, where the team keeps reusable text. It needs the Create task. Adding and removing feeds and saved items, Create post and Save also need the Owner, Admin or Editor role; a Reviewer or Viewer sees "You can read the feeds and saved assets. Adding, removing and turning them into posts needs the Owner, Admin or Editor role." and reads only.

RSS feeds

1. Paste the feed address (for example https://blog.example.com/feed.xml) and press Add feed (grey while the box is empty, with the line "Paste the address of an RSS or Atom feed, then press Add feed."). The address must be a public https link. It is opened straight away: an RSS or Atom feed is added; a web page that names its feed (most blogs and news sites do) adds that feed instead; any other page is refused with "That address is a web page, not an RSS or Atom feed. Paste the feed address instead (it often ends in /feed, /rss or .xml).", and an address that cannot be opened with "We could not open that address. Check it in your browser - it may be mistyped, need a log-in, or be down - and try again." Each feed appears as a chip. × removes it after you confirm "Remove the feed "(name)"? Its new articles stop arriving here." (press Cancel to keep it). While you type, an address that is not a full http(s) link shows "Enter the full feed address, starting with https:// - for example https://blog.example.com/feed.xml" in red and Add feed stays grey.
2. Press Refresh to fetch the newest articles (up to 30 per feed). The result says "Fetched N new items." in green ("No new items in your feeds." when there were none; the line goes when you switch to Content library). Feeds that could not be fetched are listed in red under "N feeds could not be refreshed:", each by its name (or address) with the reason; check that feed's address, or remove it.
3. Each article shows its title (click to open it), summary, author and date.
4. To post about one, pick the channel in Choose channel… on it (for (platform); a platform with no connected account yet reads for (platform) (no account connected yet) and is listed last), then press Create post beside it. Choosing a channel alone creates nothing; Create post stays grey until a channel is picked. The AI writes a caption and a draft content item is created: a message at the bottom of the screen says "Draft post created for (platform) — see Content." with Open draft, which opens the new draft. Finish and send it from Content. After the draft is made, the list goes back to Choose channel….
5. Suggest posts reads your 20 most recent articles and proposes 3 to 5 post ideas under AI post suggestions, each with the idea, its angle and why it fits now.

Create post and Suggest posts use AI; see What the AI features need. Feeds are fetched when you press Refresh.

Content library

1. Pick the type: Snippet, Hashtag group, Caption or AI generation.
2. Type a Title (up to 200 characters) and the text in Snippet, hashtags, caption… (up to 10,000 characters).
3. Press Save to library.
4. Use Search library… to find items by words in their title or text. The list updates a moment after you stop typing. When nothing matches, the list says "No saved text matches "(your search)"" with Clear search, which empties the box and shows every item again.
5. Edit on an item fills the box above with it ("Editing (title)"); change the Title or the text and press Save changes ("(title) saved"), or Cancel. The type of a saved item stays as it is; after Save changes or Cancel the type box goes back to the type you had chosen for a new item. If the box above holds text that is not saved (a new item typed but not saved yet, or changes to another item), Edit first asks "Discard your unsaved text?": press Discard and edit to open the item, or Keep editing to keep your text and save it first. Copy puts the item's text on the clipboard ("Copied to the clipboard"). × (Delete (title)) deletes an item after you confirm "Delete "(title)" from the library? This cannot be undone." Press Cancel to keep it.

Step by step: use a saved item in a post

1. Open Create.
2. Above the post text, press Insert saved text. The Insert from the Content library window lists your saved items; type in Search library… to narrow it.
3. On a Snippet, Caption or AI generation, press Insert: its text is added to the end of the post text, after a blank line.
4. On a Hashtag group, press Add hashtags: its tags are added to Hashtags. Tags already there are not added twice.
5. You see "Inserted "(title)"" and the window closes. Edit the post as usual.

If something goes wrong

• "No feed items yet - add a source and refresh first" — Suggest posts needs fetched articles. "The AI answer could not be used, so nothing was charged. Press Suggest posts to try again." — the AI's answer held no usable ideas; the AI credit was given back. Press Suggest posts again.
• An error when adding a feed — the address is not https, not public, or not a valid link.
• "Post generation failed (provider): …" — the AI could not write the caption; try again.
