Migrate from Preview to SkedCast
Ready to migrate from Preview to SkedCast? Preview’s FAQ documents no export of planned posts. What it documents is transfer: planned posts are held on your phone, only the Premium plan syncs them across devices through the cloud, and otherwise you can restore a phone backup to a new phone. Its terms do not say what happens to already-scheduled posts when you cancel or delete.
What can you take with you from Preview?
Scheduled posts
Preview’s FAQ documents no export of planned posts, and its terms clause about importing and exporting information to third-party services is generic boilerplate, not an export feature. What is documented is transfer: only the Premium plan synchronizes posts across devices through the cloud (its pricing lists “Backup Planned Posts”), or you can restore a phone backup. Preview has no help-center software; the FAQ page and support email were the only sources found.
Disconnecting or cancelling
Cancel from Preview settings: select your subscription (Pro or Premium) and press Cancel subscription, or cancel in the App Store or Google Play if you subscribed there. To remove an account, use Settings › scroll to the bottom › Delete account, or Logout for an Instagram account. The terms say only that on termination you lose access; no page states what happens to scheduled or auto-post queued posts on cancelling, logging out or deleting. Premium fees are non-refundable under the terms.
How do you move from Preview to SkedCast?
- Record what is still queued in Preview. Preview documents no export of planned posts; they live on your phone. List what is still queued from the Preview calendar before you disconnect anything. If you are moving phones rather than tools, Premium cloud sync or a phone backup restore is the documented route.
- Bulk-import the CSV into SkedCast. Upload the CSV to SkedCast’s bulk import. Every row is validated against the platform it targets, so a bad row is fixed in the import instead of failing at publish time.
- Reconnect each account. Connect each social account in SkedCast through its own official sign-in. Group accounts by client if you manage several.
- Cancel Preview once every post is confirmed live. In Preview settings, select your subscription (Pro or Premium) and press Cancel subscription, or cancel in the App Store or Google Play if you subscribed there. Premium fees are non-refundable. Confirm every post is live in SkedCast first.
