Troubleshooting Made Simple
Note didn’t post? Ensure you’re logged into Substack and that your permissions are correctly set.
Timezone mix-ups? Confirm your browser matches your local timezone for accurate scheduling.
Reset needed? Clear extension data or reinstall via Chrome extension settings for a fresh start.
The Notes are stored in the Chrome Local Storage. Press the fn-F12 key and select the Application tab on the top menu. From the left panel, find Local Storage and your Notes page URL. You can delete “unsent_composer_content” by clicking that line and selecting delete from the pop-up menu.
