What is New?

Firstly, Pardot has recently redesigned the social media posting function making it easy to use, as per the screenshot below:

With these improvements adding images to posts has become intuitive and familiar.

Beforehand, you had to first upload an image into Pardot before you start a social post, but now you can upload it anytime you are creating the post itself.
