# Publish and post
> Pages live on your Site with a page audit, and posts live on LinkedIn, X, Reddit and every account you connect.
Can my agent post as me on LinkedIn, X and Reddit? Yes: connect each account once, and your agent posts as you by API where one exists and by browser agent where none does.
```text title="Publish and post · Ask"
Publish the rent ledger guide.
Post it on LinkedIn, X and Reddit, as me.
```
```ts title="Publish and post · SDK"
import { $ } from 'startup-builder'
const page = await $.Content.publish({ content: 'contents/content_57' }) // live once its page audit passes
await $.Post.schedule({ post: 'posts/post_63', at: '2026-10-28T14:00:00Z' }) // LinkedIn and X, on the calendar
await $.Mandate.authorize({ agent: 'workers/worker_4', verb: 'Post.publish', for: 'people/dana', topics: ['rent-ledger'], limit: { perDay: 3 }, expiresAt: '2026-12-24' }) // post as you, three a day
const post = await $.Post.publish({ post: 'posts/post_64' }) // the Reddit answer, by browser agent
return { page, post }
