Search for images on Unsplash

find the best image for your post

. When you tap on the image icon in the editor, you’ll see two options including “Search for an image.”

Early access scheduling
</strong>
. Following on from the
<a rel="nofollow ugc noopener" style="color: #1a1a1a; text-decoration: underline;">
ability to preview paid posts
</a>
, a new feature shipped today allows writers to “Schedule time to unlock post and email free subscribers.” In other words, you can publish and send a post to paid subscribers first, and then open it up to free subscribers at a pre-scheduled time.
<strong>
Note:
</strong>
This feature is only available when “This post is only for paid subscribers” has been selected.
