Channels
TL;DR
Each channel page opens with the channel as the public sees it: banner, picture, name and description. Edit changes what the network's own API allows. When a network does not let apps change something, the page shows it and links to the right place.
What you can change from the studio
| Network | Picture | Banner / cover | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube | In YouTube Studio (no API) | ✓ from Files | ✓ | ✓ plus keywords and country |
| Facebook Page | ✓ from Files | ✓ cover photo, from Files | On Facebook (Meta reviews renames) | ✓ about, description and website |
| In the Instagram app | n/a | In the Instagram app | Bio in the Instagram app | |
| On LinkedIn | On LinkedIn | On LinkedIn | On LinkedIn |
Instagram and LinkedIn do not let apps change a profile. A LinkedIn company page could be edited once LinkedIn grants page-admin access to Orkestia; until then the page links you to LinkedIn's own editor.

Who can change a channel
A person changes a channel after confirming in the studio. A Staff agent goes through review: the same change needs an approved review before it is applied.
