Careful How You Edit Your Posts!

Today I'd like to point out a common mistake that many of you don't even know it's a mistake. 

<center>![yow5i6ooly.png](https://img.esteem.ws/yow5i6ooly.png)

Many of you are editing your posts after being published for various reasons. This is fine, it is allowed and you have no choice if you see a mistake or want to add something. However, there's something you have to pay attention to in order to avoid complications. 

If you're editing your post after being published, make sure to use the same dapp as the one you have published your post with. If you don't, the second dapp will overwrite the data and your post will appear as written with the second dapp. This wouldn't be a problem but many of you are counting on a curator upvote and you may not get one as the bot could not detect your post for the mentioned reason.  

Three days ago eSteem Surfer 2.2 was released with new features.
![steemit-border](https://img.esteem.ws/av4tt0mlsg.png)
>This time we've added options to spend your ESTM tokens to boost your posts (get powerful upvotes) or to promote them to all eSteem users. Promoted posts are randomly shown in user feed now. [source](https://steemit.com/esteem/@esteemapp/surfer-2-2-update-and-esteem-token)

![steemit-border](https://img.esteem.ws/av4tt0mlsg.png)

Editing your post with another dapp can cause you to lose the sponsoring or boost you have paid for using your points and the curator upvote as well.

Hmm this is interesting. I thought it wouldn't matter. I have the tendency to jump for from one condenser to another and when I see that there is something needed to be edited I just use the current condenser I am using at that moment. Thanks for pointing out this one.

I recently made a move to eSteem app.

But, the desktop app (I use Mac) is far better.

@xplosive · Aug 18 '19

Nowadays I don't use Steemit for blogging since many months.
I use either Busy.org or nowadays more often the eSteem Surfer desktop application.
I currently use the eSteem Surfer 2.2.0 on Windows 7 (32-bit).
The application is working good with the exception of being slow and laggy sometimes, but that is probably because I currently use an old (13 years old) laptop (Toshiba Satellite A110-110), and the performance of this laptop is probably not enough to properly run the application.
But it could be a software bug too. We will see it in the newer versions of the application.

Thank you. This is very important to know. So, let say if you use esteemapp to post, then edit it later using steemit.com, will steemit.com  erase the data of esteemapp on the post?

properties (22)

@erikah · Aug 19 '19

The content of the posts will stay the same except the modification you make, if course but the metadata regarding the app that was used changes. If you go to eSteem surfer, you can see which app the post was published with. If you edit the post using a different app, that is going to change and you'll see the second app you edited the post with.

In lates esteem post I see android download link is different, can you edit your post?

@erikah · Aug 24 '19

I can of course as edit button is working but I won't. I have the link that leads to all releases of which the last one is the actual one that should be downloaded. No reason to edit it. Esteem post has the link to  the latest release. If I use that, I have to edit my footer each time a new release is live. Why would I do that?

Oh I meant, new release of will be separate app and I see that they removed old version from playstore, you can try to open link on your post, you will see.
