Can You Edit a Substack Post After It's Published?

Whether it's a typo, a missing image, or a last-minute rewrite, here's how to edit your Substack post after it's been published.

The Substack POWER HOUR

Sometimes you don't need another course...you just need one focused hour to brainstorm, troubleshoot and untangle. Grab a Substack Power Hour and let's knock a few things off your list.

We’ve all had those moments where we hit Publish, admire our beautiful new post, and then immediately spot a typo the size of Saskatchewan (« for non-Canadians, that’s the province next door to me 😁)

Or maybe it has nothing to do with a typo, but a few weeks down the road, you decide to create new Substack sections, and now you want to add old posts to the new sections.

Or you want to add new tags to old posts so you can change the layout of your homepage (a REAL life client scenario just last week).

The good news? You’re not stuck with anything you publish. Literally everything in a post can be edited or changed in just a few clicks and keystrokes. It’s easier than locating a Tim Horton’s in Canada. 🫎

NOTE: The only thing you should never change is your URL because it’ll break the link to your post.

In this quick tutorial, I’ll show you how to edit a published Substack post, what you can safely change after it goes live, and a few things worth knowing before you start tweaking.

Did you know all the things you could edit in a previously published post?

What are some things you’ve gone back to edit, in the name of organizing or revising your publication?
