   3. Add a note if Buzz should know about an offer, a date or who it's for, and press Write.

Buzz says how it read your picture and writes a caption for each platform. The picture goes out as it is, never changed. Write it puts the picture and the first platform's caption in the composer and gives every other platform its own caption (A version per platform). A platform the picture doesn't fit offers Frame it in the composer.

Write it opens a post or thread take in the composer, and the take is marked used once the draft saves. A carousel take opens in the carousel studio. Copy puts a take on your clipboard and marks it used too. Newsletters and articles don't publish from Buzzmark, so they have only Copy.

Takes you haven't used stay where they are, dimmed. The latest answers are under Recent in the sidebar on the Ideas page, and pressing one brings it back.

Library in the menu, or y, keeps everything Buzz has written for you, from Ideas, Create, Remix and the weekly plan, newest first. Search what Buzz wrote, or filter it in the sidebar by Show (All, Not used or Used), Format and Type.

Pick an entry to see what you told Buzz, when and where it was made, and its takes. Write again runs the same idea through your Hive profile as it is today and saves what comes back as a new entry, which counts as 1 Buzz. Delete asks for a second press. Deleting an entry doesn't give its Buzz back.
