Publishing sends Pins to a connected Pinterest account. Use it for designs made in Pin Maker, images you upload, or Pins created directly in Publishing.

How Publishing works

Drafts are not published automatically. A Pin enters the publishing workflow when you add it to the queue, schedule a time or choose Publish now.
1

Connect Pinterest and set queue times

Connect your account under Settings → Pinterest, then open Publishing → Settings. Check the time zone and add the days and times you want Pins to go out.
2

Create or import drafts

Send designs from Pin Maker with Add to Publishing, or use New Pin and the additional creation options in Publishing.
3

Review and schedule

Choose a board and review the Pin. Use Add to queue for your regular posting times, Schedule Pin for a specific time, or Publish now for immediate publication.
4

Check the outcome

Upcoming Pins appear in Queue. Successful Pins move to Published, where you can open the resulting Pinterest Pin.
