Keep an audit trail of what went out

If a carrier or auditor asks what you posted, what it said before you approved it, and whether it was reviewed for compliance, PostSignoff keeps the pieces you need to answer. This page shows you where to find them.

Where the record lives

  1. Open History in the sidebar.
  2. Select any row to open the Post outcome drawer.

The drawer brings together everything durable about that one post:

  • What went out: the exact published text and any images. If the exact published copy wasn’t recorded (older posts, before this was tracked), the drawer rebuilds it from the post’s current content, sign-off, and hashtags, and marks it reconstructed.
  • Approval: who approved the post and when, for posts approved in-app. The approver shows as an internal account identifier, not a name or email. The section only appears when an approver or approval time is on record, so some older posts approved before this was tracked may show nothing here.
  • Compliance: the status and summary of the compliance review run against this post’s content, if your brand has compliance review turned on. If a finding was acknowledged rather than passed clean, you’ll also see an “Attested by … on …” line and the acknowledgement text.
  • Edit history: the content recorded when the post was created.
  • Lineage: the campaign, template, or template context the post came from, if any.

See See what you’ve published for the rest of what the drawer and the History page cover, including engagement numbers and retry/reactivate actions.

Posted content is locked

Once a post’s status is Posted, its text, sign-off, and hashtags can no longer be changed. If you try, you see:

Posted content is locked — the published record can’t be edited.

That’s what makes What went out in the drawer trustworthy. Nobody, including you, can go back and quietly change what the record says was published.

The preserved original vs. your edits

When AI writes a post, that original text is kept in the post’s record. If you (or a Regenerate) change the content afterward, your edit is stored separately. It doesn’t overwrite the original. The Content page and post editor work from your edited version, but the AI’s first draft is never lost. There’s no view that shows the original and your edited version side by side. This is about preservation, not comparison.

Despite its name, the drawer’s Edit history section isn’t a running history of every change. It shows only the content as it stood at creation, with its source (for example, generated or manual) and a timestamp. It doesn’t grow with every later edit or regeneration. It’s a record of where the post started, not a full history of every change since.

Compliance records are tied to the exact text they reviewed

Every time a post is analyzed for compliance, PostSignoff creates its own review record, tied to the exact content, sign-off, and hashtags it checked. Edit the post afterward, even slightly, and the next analysis creates a new review record for the new text. It doesn’t overwrite the old one. So a post’s compliance history is a series of records, each one permanently matched to the exact wording it was run against at the time.

If you acknowledged findings instead of resolving them, that acknowledgement, along with when it happened, is stored on the review record. When a post was acknowledged rather than passed clean, the drawer’s Compliance section shows the status and summary, plus an “Attested by … on …” line and the acknowledgement text below it. “Attested by” is the literal label you’ll see on screen. The value it shows is an internal account identifier, not a name or email.

What to show an auditor

For any posted post, three things together make up your record:

  1. The published text: the What went out section of the outcome drawer (or the View live link, if one is available, to see it on the platform itself).
  2. The compliance review, if your brand has compliance review turned on: the Compliance section of the drawer, showing the status, summary, and any acknowledgement.
  3. The approval, if it was recorded: the Approval section of the drawer.

Nothing here is a substitute for your own judgment, and it isn’t a certification of regulatory compliance. It’s a record of what was reviewed, what you decided, and what was actually published.

If something goes wrong

“Posted content is locked — the published record can’t be edited.”: You tried to change the text, sign-off, or hashtags on a post that has already posted. This can’t be undone. The record stays as published.
