Yearly - the post will repeat on an annual basis until the end date is reached, or the number of posts is reached

If you have a draft post already created, you can set that to recur. To do so, follow the steps below
Open up the Publishing Details
Open up your post and select the Publishing Details button.
Enable the "Is this a recurring post button"
From Publishing Details, select "Is this a recurring post"
Select your recurring set details
From here, select the scheduling details you want your post to have. Once done, press Done and your draft post will now be set to a recurring post!

Select the button on the right hand side to recycle your content.
Select your recurrence details
After clicking on the CTA, you'll be prompted to enter in your recurrence details. Here you can specify the conditions for your recurrences similar to creating a new set, or from a draft post.

Sync post edits across recurring posts
When managing a set of recurring posts, you can easily sync changes across all the posts in the set. This is especially useful for updating post components such as media, caption, tags etc.
By syncing changes you can edit one of your posts and have the changes be reflected on others.
Start by editing one of the posts in your set, to add in the post details. When you're ready to have the content be reflected on the other items, press Update All Posts.
The changes will then be reflected on all other posts.
Want to make changes to a specific post? You still have the ability to edit each post individually!
Pressing Update All Posts will overwrite individual changes and update all posts in a set to match the post you're on
Disabling and deleting Recurring Posts
Disable a recurring set
A recurring post set can be disabled, and turned back into a singular post. To disable a recurring set, head into the Publishing Details. From there, disable the recur toggle. Once confirmed, all recurring posts will be removed and the original will remain.
Delete recurring posts
You can also delete an individual post from a recurring set, or choose to delete them all. Press the trash icon on the post to open up the deletion options. Deleting all posts will remove all recurrences, as well as the original post.
