To edit a saved reel on Instagram, follow these steps:

1. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner to go to your profile page.
2. Look for the “Edit Profile” button located just below your profile information and tap on it.
3. Scroll down until you find the “Drafts” section and tap on it.
4. In the drafts section, you will see a list of your saved reels. Select the reel you want to edit by tapping on it.
5. Once you open the selected reel, you can make any necessary edits. You can trim the video, add text, stickers, filters, or adjust the cover image.
6. To trim the video, tap on the video timeline at the bottom and drag the handles to adjust the starting and ending points.
7. To add text, stickers, or filters, tap on the respective icons located on the top of the screen. Explore the different options available and choose the ones that suit your reel.
8. If you want to change the cover image, tap on the “Cover” button located at the bottom left corner. You can select a frame from the video or upload a new image from your gallery.
9. After making the desired edits, tap on the “Next” button located at the top right corner.
10. You can now add a caption, hashtags, tag people, and select the audience for your reel. Once you’re done with these details, tap on the “Share” button to publish your edited reel.

Remember to save your changes before exiting the editing screen. If you’re not satisfied with your edits, you can always go back to the drafts section, select the reel, and make further adjustments.

I hope these steps help you edit your saved reel successfully!
