Description
Expected behavior
Calypso offers a "republicize" feature to Premium and Business plan owners that lets them share a post again after publishing it. (Details in the support doc.) You get to it from My Sites > Blog Posts > Ellipsis menu (for a specific post) > Share.
Here's how that looks on the web:
Other plan owners see an upgrade nudge there:
Actual behavior
Currently there's no equivalent feature for republicizing/resharing a post in the app.
The Android app is also missing the option to control publicize settings per post, which could go hand in hand with an enhancement like this: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/4376

Research direction
Start with the linked WordPress support document to understand republicizing, then review the existing sharing flow in the Android app and related issue #4376. Done means Premium and Business users can republicize an existing post and the app's per-post publicize controls are addressed or explicitly scoped.
