Customizing site preview in the social networks

When a site is shared in social networks or messengers, the link usually comes with the site name, description, and photo. You can customize your site preview for social sharing on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Customizing site preview in the social networks

1. Open the site's editor and navigate to the pages menu in the toolbar:

2. Open the settings of the page by clicking on the "gear", proceed to the Social networks tab:

3. Change the page title and description, set up an image and hit Done:

4. Publish your site for the changes to take an effect.

Important: these settings may not be applied immediately after publishing. Sometimes social networks need time to update their "memory" of the site — up to 7 days. You can speed up the process with the help of the social networks' tools that are mentioned below.
