A quick note before this one: no tool — OneUp included — can literally transfer likes, comments, or view counts from one platform to another. Engagement numbers live on the original post and stay there. What you can do is identify the content that already proved itself and get more mileage out of it on a new platform, which is usually what people actually mean when they talk about not "losing" their best content.
The real goal: don't let proven content sit unused
If a post performed well once, there's a good chance the idea, format, or hook behind it will work again somewhere else. Instead of guessing what a new platform's audience wants, you can start with the content you already know resonates — your highest-performing posts — rather than posting blind.
How to identify and move your best-performing content
- Review your analytics — in OneUp, pull performance data for the account you're moving content from, sorted by whatever metric matters most to you (engagement rate, reach, saves, etc.).
- Shortlist your top performers rather than crossposting your entire history — a smaller, curated set of proven content usually works better than everything at once.
- Connect your source and destination accounts from the Accounts page.
- Open the Crossposting menu from the dropdown next to Create a post, and set up a workflow between the two.
- Filter or manually select which posts get included, if your workflow supports scoping to specific content rather than your full history.
- Set the pacing and launch the workflow. Your best content republishes to the new platform on the schedule you set.
What actually carries over vs. what doesn't
- Carries over: captions, images, video, hashtags (where applicable)
- Doesn't carry over: the original post's likes, comments, views, or engagement history — the new post starts at zero and earns its own engagement independently
