How do I edit or delete a post?

We understand that the editing process is never truly finished. There are a couple of ways to edit or delete posts from your page if you have second thoughts. 

In this article, we’ll cover:

• Editing/deleting a post on desktop
• Editing/deleting a post from the Patreon app
• A message for per creation creators

Editing or deleting a post on desktop

3. Click on the Manage posts link from the submenu

Alternatively, you can:

2. Click the Edit or Delete post button at the bottom of the post (above the comment section)

Are you a per creation creator?

If you've checked the option to charge patrons for a post and delete that post within the same month, any pending bills for patrons will be deleted. This means any patrons with pending bill(s) for a paid post will not be charged if you delete your post within the same month it was created.

Additionally, if you've published a post as unpaid, you cannot edit the post to retroactively bill patrons. If you forgot to select the option to charge patrons, we recommend deleting the post, and creating a fresh post – don't forget to select to charge patrons.
