Common questions
Do I need to set anything up for comments on reels to be moderated?
No. Reels are ordinary posts for moderation: comments arrive and rules run like any other post.
Can I run post cleanup on a reel?
Yes. Post cleanup takes the reel link the same way it takes a post link and fetches every comment on the reel, ready to check and act on. It accepts a Facebook post or ad link and an Instagram post or reel link.
If my page created a collab post, can I moderate its comments?
Yes. A collab post is owned by the account that created it, and you can moderate comments on posts owned by your pages. The preview panel on a comment names the post and the page it belongs to, which tells you whether you can act.
