# Reposts

> Repost tracks and albums to your public profile when reposts are enabled on BeatPass.

Reposts are a public recommendation tool for **tracks** and **albums**. When reposts are enabled on your BeatPass installation, reposting adds the item to the **Reposts** tab on your public user profile and can trigger repost notifications for the producer.

***

## How Reposts Work

When you repost a track or album:

1. It appears on your profile's **Reposts** tab
2. The repost state toggles to **Reposted**
3. The content's repost count can increase
4. The producer can receive a **Reposts** notification if they enabled it

<Info>
  Reposts are different from shares. Reposting is public inside BeatPass; sharing copies a link for use outside BeatPass.

## What You Can Repost

| Content type      | Repost support |
| ----------------- | -------------- |
| **Track**         | Yes            |
| **Album**         | Yes            |
| **Producer page** | No             |
| **Playlist**      | No             |

## Reposting Content

### From a Track Page

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the track">
    Navigate to the track page you want to repost.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the Repost action">
    Click **Repost** in the visible action row or the item's action menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the state change">
    The control switches to **Reposted** when the repost is saved.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### From an Album Page

Albums use the same basic flow:

1. Open the album page
2. Click **Repost**
3. Confirm the button changes to **Reposted**

### Removing a Repost

Click the same control again to remove the repost from your profile.

<Note>
  If reposts are disabled for your BeatPass installation, the **Repost** button and **Reposts** profile tab will not appear.

## Repost vs Like vs Share

| Action     | Purpose                               | Visibility                                           |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Repost** | Public recommendation inside BeatPass | Appears on your profile's **Reposts** tab            |
| **Like**   | Save to your library                  | Appears in your library or liked tabs                |
| **Share**  | Copy or send a link elsewhere         | External action; does not change your public profile |

Use **Repost** when you want the recommendation to live on your BeatPass profile. Use **Share** when you want to send a link somewhere else.

## Repost Notifications

Producers can enable or disable **Reposts** notifications from [Notification Preferences](/help/notifications/notification-settings).

***

## Best Practices

### For Users

* **Repost quality content** because it stays on your public profile
* **Use reposts for public recommendations** and shares for private link sending
* **Keep your reposts tab curated** instead of reposting everything you hear

### For Producers

* **Watch repost counts alongside likes and comments** because they measure a different kind of engagement
* **Keep repost notifications enabled** if public social proof matters to your workflow

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I can't see the Repost button">
    Common causes:

    * Reposts are disabled on this BeatPass installation
    * You are not logged in
    * The item type does not support reposting
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My repost didn't save">
    Refresh the page and check your profile's **Reposts** tab. If the toggle did not stick, try the action again after the page finishes loading.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Repost count seems incorrect">
    Repost counts can take a moment to refresh across every surface. Reload the item page and your profile if the count still looks stale.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
