Troubleshooting Instagram Multi-Image Story Restrictions in Advocacy Overview

Employee Advocacy allows organizations to amplify brand content through their employees' professional social networks. With multi-image story sharing for Instagram Business Profiles, curators can create photo gallery stories that readers can share directly to Instagram and LinkedIn. This feature enables teams to post richer visual updates, event recaps, and product highlights directly from Employee Advocacy on desktop or mobile.

What You Can Do

With multi-image stories for Instagram Business Profiles, you can:

• Upload up to 9 images per photo story in Employee Advocacy.
• Share multi-image photo stories to connected Instagram Business Profiles and LinkedIn simultaneously.
• Arrange image sequence via drag-and-drop and designate a primary thumbnail image for the Advocacy feed.
• Share multi-image stories on the go using the Employee Advocacy mobile app for iOS and Android.
• Track shares, impressions, and employee engagements from Instagram multi-image posts across Employee Advocacy reporting.

How to Use

Curating a Multi-Image Story (Admins and Curators):

1. In Employee Advocacy, click Add Story at the top of the screen and select A media attachment.
