Adding Social Media Icons

There are a couple of simple steps to manage the social sharing buttons on your content.

The sharing buttons allow you to share your articles and stories with your followers. Adding these social sharing buttons is optional.

When your readers share the articles, the articles will include the title, subtitle, and an image if these were added to the shared article.

Here are the steps to enable these social sharing icons:

Step 1: Add the addresses of your social media presence

These social media addresses are saved at a workspace level, so you will only have to enter these once, and these addresses will be used for all the publications and content in your workspace.

To do this:

  • Go to Workspace Settings > Links
  • Add your social media addresses in the Social Pages panel and click 'Save Changes.'

Step 2: For your publication, enable sharing

You can select per publication whether you want to enable social sharing and which social network buttons you wish to use.

  • Go to Preferences > SEO & Social.
  • You can turn social sharing on/off your articles and select which social networks to enable.

Step 3: Add the social sharing buttons

You can add social sharing icons on your articles, title sections, headers, and footers.

To add to articles:

Select 'social media' from the dropdown menu you use to add components.
