# Publish Instagram content now

Check that the [account is connected with publishing access](/help-center/connect-your-instagram-account) and that [publishing is available](/help-center/create-instagram-content#who-can-use-this).

Save your draft, then select **Publish > Publish now**.

Review the dialog before you publish. It shows the account, your images in
order, and the caption. Publishing is not a preview: your audience can see the
result as soon as Instagram confirms it.

- **Story:** each frame goes live separately, in the order shown. Naayya sends a
  frame only after the one before it is confirmed. If a frame fails, later
  frames are skipped and the dialog shows the result for each frame. Stories
  published this way do not include music, stickers, links, or native text
  overlays.
- **Post:** the image must be between 4:5 and 1.91:1. Images made in the editor
  are 4:5. See [Instagram caption limits](/help-center/design-and-save-instagram-content#design-your-content).
- **Carousel:** all images go live together with one caption. While it
  prepares, the dialog shows how many images are ready.

When a publish succeeds, select **View on Instagram** to open it.

## If the result is uncertain

Sometimes Instagram may have accepted a request even though Naayya did not
receive a confirmation. The dialog then says Instagram may have published the
content and asks you to check the account. Open Instagram and look before you
try again. Naayya stops instead of sending a second copy.

Other messages you may see:

- **Publishing limit:** Instagram limits how much an account can publish. Try
  again after the limit resets.
- **Reconnect:** Instagram must be reconnected with publishing access.
- **Could not process, or took too long:** check the images and start a fresh
  publish.
