# Schedule DEV Community posts: formats, limits, setup

Schedule articles with a cover image, tags and a canonical URL to DEV Community with 1Post: formats, limits, the daily cap and how to connect your account.

1Post schedules and publishes articles with a cover image, tags and a canonical URL to DEV Community. Write once, tailor the DEV Community version with a live preview, and 1Post checks the post against DEV Community's rules before it goes out at the time you set. 1Post enforces no text length for DEV Community.

## What you can post to DEV Community

## Connect DEV Community

1. In DEV settings, create an API key.
2. Open Accounts in 1Post and choose Connect, then DEV Community.
3. Paste the API key.
4. Choose the account in the composer.

## Before it goes out

The composer shows DEV Community's preview beside the others, counts the text the way DEV Community does, and lists anything the network would refuse, such as a file that is too large. Fix it in the composer and the post stays in your queue.
