How to use X Pro

If you use X Pro in a corporate or team environment, learn how to set up a team account.

Managing multiple accounts on X Pro

Select a default account:

You can select which of your accounts to use as your default account. This is the account you will compose a post from, like a post from, and reply to posts with.

1. Click Accounts in the navigation bar.
2. Expand the account you wish to set as the default by clicking the down arrow.
3. Toggle on the Default account option.
    

Posting from multiple accounts:

X Pro allows you to easily post from multiple accounts. To select which accounts you would like to post from:

1. Click on the post button at the top of the navigation bar; the accounts you have authorized will be listed at the top (you can hover over an icon to see the username of the account).
2. Select which account you would like to post from (if the account is selected, it will be highlighted with a green checkmark).
   Tip: Schedule posts (with or without an asset) in advance for any account connected to your postDeck.
    

Liking from multiple accounts:

postDeck allows you to like a post from multiple accounts.

1. Click on the more icon  on the post.
2. From the menu that pops up, click on Like from accounts…
3. Click Like next to the account(s) you’d like to like from.
    

Following from multiple accounts:

postDeck allows you to follow someone from multiple accounts. You can also follow someone by clicking follow on their profile, but only your default account will follow them.

1. Click on the account that you wish to follow; a profile will appear.
2. Click on the more icon and then select Follow from accounts...
3. Choose which accounts you would like to follow from.
   Note: The same instructions apply when unfollowing an account.
    

Why is it more secure to log in with a personal X username?

If you log in using a personal username that only you have the password for, you can safely access your team accounts without any risk to account security. We recommend that you use login verification for added security.

Using X Pro columns

Instead of a single timeline, X Pro allows you to add columns to display specific content that interests you and view them side by side. Add columns that show all your mentions, the results of a search query, a list of likes, the latest posts from a hashtag or trend, etc.
 

To add a column:

1. From the navigation bar, click on the plus icon to select Add column. 
2. Select the type of column you would like to add.
3. Under Your accounts, select the account you wish to populate the column.

Note: You can also create columns using information based on actions from other accounts. Click on the account username and choose from actions such as their mentions, lists, collections, or likes.

To remove a column:

1. Click the filter icon  in the column header, next to the column title.
2. Click the Remove button to delete a column.
    

Column filters:

You can easily control the type of posts you would like displayed in each of your columns. You can select from Content, Location, Users, Engagements or Alerts; or a combination of the three. 

1. Content filtering allows you to filter the column by a certain type of post, such as Reposts, posts containing a specific word or phrase, or posts with photos. 
2. The location filter allows you to filter for posts geotagged in specific locations.
3. The user filter allows you to filter posts within a specific column written by a certain author and those they mention. 
4. The engagement filter allows you to filter posts with a minimum number of Reposts, likes or replies.
5. The alert filter allows you to enable pop-ups or sounds for a particular column.
6. Note: If you create a search column, you can also filter results by location, date, and engagement. The location filter allows you to easily narrow down your search results to find relevant content in the area you are interested in. Only unprotected posts geotagged with a location will appear in search results when a location filter is applied.
    

To create a filter:

1. Click the filter icon  in the column header, next to the column title.
2. Select which types of filter(s) (Content, Users, or Alerts) you would like applied to the column.
3. Click the filter icon   again to collapse the column settings.
   Note: Columns with custom filtering will display Filtered by along with the icon for the filter you have enabled.
    

Column reordering:

Easily rearrange the order of columns in postDeck with just a few quick clicks.

1. Click the filter icon  in the column header, next to the column title.
2. Click the left or right arrow depending on which direction you’d like to move the column.
   Note: You can also drag and drop the columns by their corresponding icons from the navigation bar to reorder your columns.
