unposted

Unposted is an adjective describing something that has not yet been posted, published, sent, or entered into a system. The term comes from the verb post, with the negative prefix un-, and its meaning varies by context. In general, unposted items are in a pending or draft state, awaiting action before becoming official or public.

In publishing and online platforms, unposted content often refers to drafts or material that remains hidden or private until the author chooses to publish it. For content creators, unposted posts may be scheduled for later release or kept as private drafts for future revision.

In postal and logistics contexts, an unposted item is one that has not yet been delivered to the postal service or released for dispatch. Such items may be queued or held for processing.

In accounting and records management, an unposted entry is a financial transaction that has been recorded but not yet posted to the general ledger or official records. Unposted entries typically require review, approval, or reconciliation before posting to ensure accuracy and balance.

In software and data workflows, unposted data may indicate information pending approval or verification before it enters downstream systems or reports.
