  4. Review & save

    Check the ingredients and steps, make any edits, then save the recipe.

Good to know: the importer reads the post’s written text. If the recipe only exists as spoken narration in a Reel, the result may be incomplete — check the caption or the pinned comment, and edit the recipe after import. Stories are not supported; use the post instead.
