  2. Filter for “Published” on the left-hand side to review past posts.
  3. Use additional filters to refine results by social profile, Category, content, post timing, and more.
  4. For each X post, track:
    • Likes – The total number of likes received.
    • Shares – The number of times the post was shared.
