How to disconnect a channel
Remove a connected account: what happens to the posts scheduled to it, and where PostEase revokes its own access versus where you remove it yourself.
where this happens in the app
1. Where the action is
Channels, then Disconnect on the row. A confirmation names how many scheduled posts target that channel before anything happens.
2. What happens to scheduled posts
Posts lose that channel. A post with no other channel left becomes a draft and keeps its date and time, so adding a channel back is a one-field edit rather than starting over. Inbox messages and automations for the channel are removed.
3. Where access is revoked for you
YouTube, X, and Bluesky publish a revocation endpoint, so PostEase tells them to revoke its access as part of disconnecting. The notice on the Channels page says whether the platform confirmed it.
4. Where you remove it yourself
LinkedIn, Pinterest, and WordPress offer no way for an app to revoke its own access with the credentials PostEase holds. The stored token is deleted here; remove PostEase under that platform’s connected apps, or delete the application password on your WordPress site, to withdraw access there too.

Four Google scopes: upload, read-only channel access, comment replies, and read-only analytics. Nothing broader than Google’s consent screen names.
