Keep an audit trail of what went out

A carrier or auditor may ask what you posted, what it said before you approved it, and whether it was checked for compliance. PostSignOff keeps the pieces you need to answer. This page shows where to find them.

Where the record lives

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

History shows posted posts unless you change its filter. The filter can also show rejected, expired, or failed posts, or all of them.

The drawer brings together what PostSignOff keeps about that one post:

  • What went out: the exact published text and images, shown the way the platform showed them. Some older posts don’t have their exact copy saved. For those, the drawer rebuilds it from the post’s current text, sign-off, and hashtags, and marks it reconstructed. Images rebuilt the same way are marked media reconstructed.
  • Approval: who approved the post and when. “Approved by” shows an internal account ID, not a name or email. This part only appears when an approval is on record, so some older posts show nothing here.
  • Compliance: the newest compliance review for this post, if it was ever checked. It shows the status, like pass or warnings, and a short summary. If someone acknowledged findings, you also see an “Attested by … on …” line and the confirmation text they ticked. The findings themselves aren’t listed here.
  • Edit history: the saved versions of the post’s text, newest first.
  • Lineage: the campaign and template the post came from, if any, plus the template’s context and imagery direction.

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

Posted content is locked

Once a post’s status is Posted, its text, sign-off, and hashtags can’t change. The editor turns read-only, and under it you see:

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

That’s what makes What went out worth trusting. Nobody, you included, can go back and quietly change what was published. A published post can’t be deleted, either.

The preserved original vs. your edits

When AI writes a post, that first draft is kept in the post’s record. If you edit it, or pick an alternative from Regenerate, your version is saved apart from it. It doesn’t overwrite the original. The Posts page and the editor show your latest version, but the AI’s first draft is never lost.

The drawer’s Edit history lists each saved version of the text. Every entry shows when it was saved and where it came from, like generated, manual, edit, or regenerate. The list keeps the very first version and the 19 newest ones. A change to only the sign-off or hashtags doesn’t add an entry. Older posts may show only their first version.

On the post’s page, the History button opens the same list, titled Version history.

Compliance records are tied to the exact text they reviewed

Each time a post is checked, PostSignOff saves its own review record. It’s tied to the exact text, sign-off, and hashtags the check read. Edit the post, and the next check saves a new 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 stays matched to the exact wording it checked.

The drawer shows only the newest record. Most of the time, that’s the one for the text that went out. But if you went back to older text before you approved, the newest record can belong to text that never published.

If you acknowledged findings instead of fixing them, the record stores that, with the time. The drawer’s Compliance section then shows the status and summary, plus an “Attested by … on …” line and the confirmation text below it. “Attested by” is the exact label you’ll see. The value after it is an internal account ID, not a name or email. On the post’s page, the same acknowledgement shows the person’s name.

What to show an auditor

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

  1. The published text: the What went out section of the drawer. If there’s a View live link, it opens the post on the platform itself.
  2. The compliance review, if your brand has compliance review turned on: the Compliance section of the drawer. It shows the status, summary, and any acknowledgement.
  3. The approval, if it was recorded: the Approval section of the drawer.

Nothing here takes the place of your own judgment. It isn’t a certification that you met any rule. It’s a record of what was checked, what you decided, and what was actually published.

If something goes wrong

“Posted content is locked — the published record can’t be edited.”: The post already went out, so its text, sign-off, and hashtags can’t change. This can’t be undone. The record stays as published.
