Hi is there a setting for posting only new content? I seem to be posting content that has been edited as well

Whenever a post goes from unpublished to published, it's posted. That generally makes it so that only new content is posted as it's not common to un-publish a post and then republish it later.

We don't have a method to detect 'new' content because there's not really a method within Joomla to know if the page is being published for the first time.

I hope that helps explain, but if you have any other questions, please let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Yep that makes sense but it can be a bit spammy if you edit a few in a row but I get what you say

I definitely understand what you mean. As noted though, I don't believe it should be posting the content repeatedly if you're just editing. Are you unpublishing, editing and then re-publishing? If so, that would makes sense for the duplication, although I can definitely see how that could be spammy...

Thanks,
Alex
