Which of the following actions should you take before publishing a draft on Hootsuite?

Before publishing a draft on Hootsuite, ensuring that it is either scheduled or set for manual publishing is essential. This action confirms that the content is ready to go live at the appropriate time and on the right platforms.

When you prepare a post as a draft in Hootsuite, it's crucial to define when and how this content will be shared—whether it's going out immediately or at a later time. This step is integral to maintaining a cohesive and planned social media strategy, as it gives you control over the timing and context of your messaging.

Checking analytics, posting on other platforms first, and notifying followers are actions that may occur after the content has been published or may not be necessary depending on the context of the content being shared. These actions do not primarly focus on the preparatory phase of putting together a draft for publication as effectively as ensuring the correct publishing status.
