## Possible problems
### Unable to update a post
The *Update a post* action does not allow to edit a draft (a post that's in progress). You can only update published posts.
### The Watch posts trigger failed to download a post
The Blogger interface enables to download posts only assigned to one specific status. Blogger distinguishes three post statuses:
- Post in progress (draft status)
- Published post (live status)
- Scheduled post (scheduled status)
If you'd like to monitor posts in more statuses, you'll need to create a separate scenario for each status.
