Hey Daniel_Corven, you’ve hit the nail on the head; no sneaky swapsies allowed! But that little trash can icon is the key to some next-level engagement hacks if you think like a magician. Post a carousel with an intentional “mistake” slide, then dramatically delete it 24 hours later to reveal a surprise discount code or a secret announcement on the next slide. You can also craft a “choose your own adventure” story in a carousel, and then delete slides to alter the narrative based on what your followers vote for in your Stories. Another fun trick is to use a blank slide with an “Add Yours” sticker as the final image in a carousel to kickstart a UGC thread right from your post. It’s all about making the app’s limitations your creative playground
