Several new updates for business pages on Facebook are rolling out which include the ability to schedule stories on both Facebook and Instagram.

There are also new features coming to the Facebook Business Suite that were announced, such as added capability to manage photo albums and saving draft posts.

Scheduling stories on Facebook and Instagram

Business pages have been able to schedule posts, but now that feature has been expanded to allow scheduling of stories as well.

Here's how to do it:

  • Select where you want to create or schedule a post for your Facebook News Feed, Instagram Feed, or both.
  • Click Upload Media and add a photo or video to your story.
  • Customize your story by cropping, adding text or stickers.
  • Preview how your story will look on Facebook and Instagram on the right.
  • Click Publish Story to publish immediately, or click the blue arrow to select Schedule Story to publish it later.

It's as simple as that! Continue reading to learn more about upcoming features rolling out along with this update.
