The Writing Control Panel is where you'll find your saved posts and recently published posts. Some simulations also have a modification that allows you to read all saved posts. There are options for both reading and editing your saved posts. To read a post without locking it for editing, click the magnifying glass (shown below in a light purple box). To edit, click either the title of the post or the pencil (both shown below in hot pink boxes). Please do not lock a post for editing //unless you are editing it//. Similarly, do not save a post unless you have //added something to it//. | The Writing Control Panel is where you'll find your saved posts and recently published posts.
