    How to Keep Your Posts Synchronized with Basecamp

    Your Blog posts come directly from the Basecamp Message Board messages you selected when creating the Blog, and that connection stays active all the time.


    Edit the text from Basecamp:

    You cannot edit a post's text from Can Do.


    To edit the text, go to the original message in Basecamp, make your change there, and it will update in your Blog published by Can Do. This works like this:


    • Write a new message on the Message Board → a new post appears in your Blog.
    • Edit the title or content of a message → the post updates.
    • Archive or delete a message → the post disappears from your Blog.


    A couple of things about timing:

    • Updates are not always instant, especially if you added or changed images. Can Do has to reprocess them in the background, so give it a moment before thinking something failed.
    • There is no "sync now" button. If something looks out of date, the solution is almost always just to wait a moment and refresh the page.
