Updating Social Share Content

You can update the title, descipriton and image for your Social Share within the Visual Builder and Funraisin Dashboard. By default we reccomend updating the overall Social Share content within the Dashboard under Platform Settings, this will be used as a fallback if no Social Share content is detected on the page.

The Social Share content is pulled in from the source location. For example: if you select current page (which is the default source) then it will share the social content from within the page.

Via Visual Builder

1. Open page settings via topbar (as mentioned above).
2. Scroll down on the Edit Page Settings Sidebar until you see Social Sharing tab.
3. Edit Social Share description, then click save.

Via Dashboard:

Within the dashboard under page settings, you will find social sharing options. Within an event page the social share tab sits across the top.
