Enhanced Social Preview feature

With a paid Jetpack Social plan a bundle such as Jetpack Growth or Jetpack Complete, you can access the enhanced Social Preview feature to see how your post will look on each connected social account and make instant edits as needed:

• Add or change the attached image: Customize your social post by adding or replacing the attached image directly in the preview window.
• Add or change a customized message: Write a custom message for your social audience. This message will override your social post content.
• Schedule or share the post: you can choose to schedule the sharing or to share the content immediately.

Jetpack also provides a default fallback image in its Open Graph meta tags when no suitable image is available in the post. This ensures that a valid social preview image is always present, even if the post has no Featured Image or other images to use.

The Social Preview feature ensures your posts look great on social media before sharing them, with the option to customize attached media in paid plans.
