Each network, with its own rules.
Share Dock uses each network’s official API and checks your post against that network before it is queued. A network is switched on only after it approves Share Dock.

- YouTubeWorking in testing

Write it once. Tune it per network.
- Prepare. Write the post and add photos or a video. Files are checked before anything is scheduled.
- Choose where it goes. Give any network its own text or its own set of photos; the rest keep the original.
- Schedule. Pick a time in your workspace’s time zone, or publish now.
- Check the result. Every network reports back on its own, with a link to the live post.

A video can be received and still be processing. Share Dock shows each stage as it really is and keeps checking until the network confirms it.
YouTube has it and is still processing it — not published yet
Share Dock checks again automatically and updates the post when YouTube finishes.

Questions
How Share Dock handles your data is in the Privacy Policy.
- Does Share Dock ask for my social network passwords?
- No. You sign in on the network itself and approve Share Dock there. Share Dock keeps only the access the network gives it, encrypted, and you can disconnect at any time.
- What happens when a post fails on one network?
- Each network has its own result. A failure on one never resends the posts that already succeeded elsewhere, and the post page tells you what went wrong and what you can do.
- Could a post be published twice?
- Share Dock is built to avoid it. When a network does not answer, Share Dock checks before trying again, and when it cannot tell, it says so instead of guessing.
- Does Share Dock use AI to write or change my posts?
- No. Your posts are published as you wrote them. The only checks are the networks’ own rules, such as length and file types.
- What does it cost?
- Pricing has not been announced yet. Share Dock is in testing with a small number of accounts.
