> When a picture, a video or a post does not go up, CommonYard keeps it on your phone under Not sent yet. Open it again, save it to your phone, or delete it.

Sometimes a post or a message does not go up — the network drops, or you close the page too soon. CommonYard now keeps what you were sending on your phone, so you don't lose it. It all waits on one page, **Not sent yet**.

## Steps

1. Tap **PROFILE** on the bar, then the gear at the top right for **Settings**.
2. Tap **Not sent yet**. Beside it you see how many things are waiting, or **Nothing waiting**.
3. Find what you lost. Each one says what it was and where it was going, like **POST · TO ACCRA RUNNERS** or **YARD BENCH**, and how it stands: **Did not send**, **May not have gone**, **In a draft** or **Waiting on the bench**.
4. Tap **Open the post** or **Open the bench** to go back to where it was going, with your words and pictures still there, and send it again.

## Other ways to it

- On **What you made**, a line at the top says how many things are kept on this phone, when there are any. Tap it.
- Or search for **Not sent yet**. See [Search CommonYard](/guides/search-commonyard/).

## Save it or let it go

- **Save to phone** puts the pictures or video on your phone, to keep or send some other way.
- **Delete** asks first, then takes it off your phone for good. Tap **Keep** if you change your mind.
- Tap a picture to see it bigger.

## Good to know

- It is kept on this phone only. On another phone or computer you won't see it.
- When something sends, it leaves the list by itself.
- It covers posts, messages on a bench, replies and comments with a picture or video, and Troll War shots.
