Coverage grid symbols
What each check mark, circle and dash in the Coverage grid means.
In Coverage, each row is a video and each column is a platform or marketplace. The symbol in a cell tells you the state of that video on that destination.
The symbols
- ✓ (green, filled) — live there, and saved: you confirmed it, EverySqueeze posted it, or a scan checked it and saved it. The video's own platform (TikTok, for most people) is always ✓. The number shown is that post's views on that platform (the line above the platform columns says so too). Hover it to see who posted it: Posted by EverySqueeze, or Found on your Page (you posted this) for a post you made yourself that Coverage matched (on Instagram, YouTube or Pinterest it says your Instagram, your channel or your Pinterest instead of your Page). A dash under the ✓ means that post's views aren't tracked. Pinterest views aren't tracked at all, so a Pinterest ✓ has no number under it.
- ◷ (amber, filled) — queued or scheduled. The word next to it says which, and a scheduled post shows its time.
- ? (amber) — a possible cross-post the matcher found but you haven't confirmed (Maybe already on Facebook — check). That includes a match that looks right but was only found when the page loaded and never saved. It doesn't count as posted, and it doesn't stop a post: new videos, older videos and posting it yourself still go out there. So if the video really is already on that platform, confirm it, or it can be posted twice. Auto-fill gaps (and Keep my gaps filled) skips that spot only while the match is saved; one found when the page loaded is planned like any other gap. A strong match (same length and caption) is the exception: it counts as already posted, so automatic posting skips it and posting it yourself is refused. If it isn't the same video, Not a match lets it post. Click it to review.
- – (muted) — this video can't go there, so it isn't counted as a gap. In practice it is a photo post in the YouTube column, because YouTube doesn't take photo posts, or a photo post you uploaded yourself in the TikTok column, because it isn't from TikTok. Hover it, or open the video's This video, everywhere panel, to see which reason applies.
- + (outlined) — an open gap. Click it to queue the video for that platform in the Composer, or hold Shift while you click it to mark it as already posted there by you (see Already posted it yourself?).
On the computer, a posted Facebook or Instagram square has a small round chat badge on its bottom-right corner, Reply (its full name is Engage on this Instagram post or Engage on this Facebook post): it opens the panel to comment on that post or send a DM. On a phone it is a Reply button under the square.
What clicking the + does
A plain click posts nothing and doesn't say the video is already there: the square changes to Queued, and the video waits in Composer's To review tab until you click Post now or Schedule there (see Making a post in Composer).
The number under a video
The number under each video's picture is its TikTok views. It is left off when it was read on the video's first day and hasn't been refreshed since: TikTok's count only grows after that, so an old first-day number would be far too low.
What counts as a gap
A cell only counts as an open gap when the destination is one you've actually scanned and haven't blocked. A marketplace you've never scanned, or one you've told EverySqueeze you can't post to, still shows something in the grid but isn't counted toward your gap totals.
Reviewing a ? cell
A ? cell is not confirmed coverage — it's a lead. Posting new videos and older videos doesn't wait for your answer, so check it before the same video goes out there again. Click it to open the comparison and confirm or reject it.
Don’t post this video
Each video's row ends with a small Don’t post this video button, on the line that counts its live destinations. Click it to keep that video out of automatic posting (older videos, new videos and Keep my gaps filled); the row then says Won’t be posted automatically. Its + squares still work, so you can post it yourself. Allow posting again undoes it. Only the account owner sees the button; an assistant sees the state. On a narrow window the button is hidden. See Keep a video from posting automatically.
Under the grid
One line repeats what the symbols mean. The … button at the end of it holds the account tools: Check for deleted posts, Instagram insights and Full posting history refresh. Posts that are not matched to a TikTok yet are not listed under the grid: they are in the Match posts button at the top of Coverage, beside Review N videos (see Confirm or reject a match).
This video, everywhere
Click a video's thumbnail (or the open-in-new icon by its title) for every place it lives. Each platform's line uses the grid's own numbers: its views, an Open link to the post, and the same count of destinations live as the row under the title (for example 2 of 4 destinations live). See Confirm or reject a match for what happens next.
