To edit a scheduled Bluesky post in SkedCast, open it from Posts or the calendar and change the text, images, first comment or time, or cancel it; nothing reaches Bluesky until it publishes. Bluesky has no edit button for live posts, so to fix one after it publishes, delete it in Bluesky and post the corrected version.
Key takeaways
- Scheduled in SkedCast: change the text, images, alt text, first comment, reply settings or time, or cancel; nothing is posted until it publishes.
- Live on Bluesky: there is no edit button, so delete the post and publish a corrected one.
- Deleting removes the post from the Bluesky app at once, with its images.
- Check the text against Bluesky’s 300-character limit before you schedule, so there is nothing to fix later.

| Images, alt text or video | Yes | No: delete and post again |

How do you edit or cancel a scheduled Bluesky post in SkedCast?
The content calendar shows every post waiting to go out, so a change is a click away. See how to schedule Bluesky multi-image posts for setting one up.
Find the post
Open Posts or the calendar and select the Bluesky post while it shows as scheduled.
Make the change
Edit the text, mentions, links, images and their alt text, the first comment or who can reply, or drag it to a new time on the calendar.
Save
SkedCast checks it against Bluesky’s 300-character and four-image limits again and keeps it in the queue.
Or cancel it
Cancel the post and nothing is sent to Bluesky.
Can you edit a Bluesky post after it publishes?
No. The Bluesky app has no edit button: once a post is live its text and media stay as posted, and Bluesky has only said it is discussing an edit feature. Browser extensions that claim to add one change what you see, not a post others have already read and replied to. The dependable fix is to delete the post and publish a corrected one, which you can schedule again in SkedCast.
How do you delete a Bluesky post that is already live?
In the Bluesky app, open the post, tap the three-dot menu, choose Delete post and confirm. Bluesky removes it from the app straight away and deletes its images from storage; replies and reposts of it lose the original. Then post the corrected version from SkedCast, and see the Bluesky scheduler for every option it publishes.
