There's no separate "library" or "drafts" view — every state of every idea lives in the Watch tab feed. What changes is the overlay rendered on top of the video / idea card. This article walks the filter pills and the four main overlay types.
1. The status filter pills
Tap a pill to narrow the feed. Counts update live.
Eight filter pills run across the top: All, New, Seen, In Progress, Ready, Schd (Scheduled), Posted, Saved.
A horizontally scrollable pill row sits at the top of the feed. The active pill fills dark; counts appear next to each label (except All). The full set:
All — every entry, no filter.
New — fresh ideas you haven't seen yet.
Seen — ideas you've already scrolled past.
In Progress — ideas in some pipeline stage (image generated, voice recorded, video rendering). Anything mid-flight.
Ready — finished videos waiting for you to post or schedule.
Schd — scheduled videos. (The label is truncated to fit the pill.)
Posted — already published.
Saved — ideas you've explicitly saved without generating yet.
TIP
Counts double as a to-do list
The number on Ready tells you how many videos need your attention right now; In Progress tells you how many are still cooking. Glance at these two before opening the calendar to plan your session.
2. Ready overlay
Stop Running With Your Dog Wrong
Ready: top badge + format. Right-side icons for Re-edit and Report. Bottom: Save / Share / Re-edit, then Schedule + Post Now CTAs.
Ready is the post-render pre-publish state. The overlay is the most action-dense in the app — your finished video, ready to ship.
Top badges
A green Ready badge on the left and a Format badge on the right (e.g. Clone,Faceless, Carousel) showing how the video was produced.
Right-side icon column
Report (flag) — flags a generation issue (off-topic content, broken motion, wrong face). Sends a report to support; doesn't change the video.
Bottom panel — quick actions row
Save — downloads the video to your camera roll at full generation quality.
Share — opens the native share sheet with the video file. Use it to post manually to platforms Promoat doesn't publish to (Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) or send to a teammate.
Re-edit — same target as the right-side pencil; shown again here for thumb reachability.
Bottom panel — primary actions
Schedule (outlined button) — opens the Schedule sheet. See
Calendar and scheduling for the WHEN / PLATFORMS / CAPTION / HASHTAGS sections.
Post Now (gradient button) — publishes immediately to the platforms you have connected. Skips the schedule step.
3. Scheduled overlay
Scheduled · Thu, May 14 · 3:00 PM
Avoid This Dog Pool Party Mistake
Scheduled: status line shows the date and time. Calendar + flag icons. Single Post now CTA to publish ahead of schedule.
Scheduled videos show their date and time in the status line below the gradient bar (e.g. "Scheduled · Thu, May 14, 3:00 PM"). Two right-side icons: Reschedule (calendar icon — re-opens the Schedule sheet to change the date) and Report (flag).
The bottom CTA is a single Post now gradient button. Tapping it skips the schedule and publishes immediately. The scheduled time is removed once the post fires.
HEADS-UP
Disconnecting deletes the schedule
If you disconnect a platform that has scheduled posts queued for it, those scheduled entries are cancelled. Promoat surfaces a warning before disconnect, but only if there are pending posts.
4. Posted overlay
Posted · Tue, May 12
3 Hidden Signs Your Cat's Stressed
Posted: status line shows when. Download icon (no Re-edit — already live). Repost CTA at the bottom.
The terminal state. Status line: "Posted · {date}". Right-side icons: Download (save the published version to your camera roll) and Report.
Bottom CTA: Repost — opens the Schedule sheet with the same caption / hashtags pre-filled, so you can re-publish a top performer to a new platform or at a different time. The original posted entry stays in the Posted filter; the new scheduled entry shows up in Schd.
Once a post fires, Promoat can't unpublish it from the platform. Delete it from the platform itself (TikTok app, Instagram app, etc.) if needed.
5. Saved Idea overlay
Stop Your Cat From Destroying Furniture
Trending on TikTok
Saved Idea: topic in big type, source line, age, format selector (Clone / Faceless / Carousel), Remove + Generate CTAs.
Saved Ideas don't have an associated video yet — they're shortlisted topics. The overlay is text-forward instead of video-forward:
Topic in large bold type, centered.
Source line — where Promoat surfaced this idea from (e.g. "Source: Trending on TikTok").
Saved age — "Saved 3d ago".
Format selector — three pills: Clone, Faceless, Carousel. Pick how the video should be generated. Some formats may be disabled (greyed out) if your account doesn't have the underlying capability — e.g. Clone requires a voice clone, Carousel needs enough credits for the multi-scene pipeline.
Remove — drops the idea from your saved list.
Generate — kicks off the generation pipeline using the selected format. Moves the entry from Saved → In Progress.
6. Gestures across all overlays
Some interactions work on every overlay regardless of state:
Vertical swipe — moves to the next / previous entry in the feed. Hard mute icon-area swipes if you want to tap right-side icons; the column is small enough that horizontal-bias touches don't trigger scroll.
Tap on the video — pauses / resumes playback.
Double-tap — no like / heart action; Promoat isn't a social feed. Reserved for future use.
Long-press — no multi-select either. Each entry is acted on individually via its overlay buttons.
TIP
Use the calendar for bulk planning
The feed is one-at-a-time by design. If you want to see your whole week, tap the calendar button in the Watch top bar instead — see
Calendar and scheduling.
Tap a status pill (Ready or In Progress are usually most useful)
Scroll the feed; each entry's overlay tells you what's possible
On Ready: Save, Share, Re-edit, Schedule, or Post Now
On Scheduled: Reschedule (calendar icon) or Post now to fire early
On Posted: Download to camera roll, or Repost via the Schedule sheet
On Saved: pick a Format and tap Generate to start producing the video
