# Post a series, and follow one

> Post something in parts — a story, a weekly review, a diary — as a series. Followers can ask to be reminded a day and an hour before the next part lands.

A series is a run of posts in parts: part 1, part 2, part 3. Each part is an ordinary post — words, a poll, a picture — and the series keeps them together, in order, on a page of their own. People who follow it can ask to be reminded when the next part is due.

## Start a series with a post

1. Tap the round **+** and write the first part.
2. Under **PART OF A SERIES**, tap **Add it to one of yours, or start one**.
3. Tap **Start a new series**.
4. Give the series a name, say what it's about, and — if you know it — tap **SET THE FIRST DATE**. Tap **START THE SERIES**.
5. You're back on your post, which is now part 1. Tap **Post**.

## Add the next part

1. Tap **+** and write the next part.
2. Under **PART OF A SERIES**, pick the series. It says which part this will be — **Part 3 of Book of the month**, for example.
3. Tap **Post**. It joins the series as soon as it's up.

Or open the series' page and tap **ADD PART** — then **Write part 3** to write it now, or pick a post of yours that's already up.

## Add a post that's already up

Open the post's three dots (**•••**) and tap **Add to a series**. Pick one of your series — it goes in as the next part — or start a new one with it.

## Set when the next part lands

On the series' page, tap **SET THE NEXT DATE**, pick the day and the time, and add a line on what's coming if you like. Followers who asked are reminded. **CHANGE THE DATE** and **CANCEL THE DATE** are there once it's set.

## Follow a series

1. Open the series: tap its maker's name on one of the parts, and find it under **SERIES** on their page — or open a link someone shared.
2. Tap **FOLLOW**.
3. Switch on **Remind me** to hear about the next part a day before and an hour before it lands.

Tap **FOLLOWING** to stop following.

## Good to know
