This afternoon Facebook starting rolling out the option to preview a new “Upgraded Page” look. For Facebook Page Admins, you have the option to “Take a Tour”. Below we outline the details of the tour.
Please note that your TabSite is still intact and works just fine with the new layout!
Summary: 5 Key Changes to your Fan Page are Available!
- Like your Profile page, you now have Photo Thumbnail images at the top of your page.
- Tab Navigation is now on the left (also like Profiles). Custom names for Tabs still work and you can still set which tab is the default tab for the Landing Page new visitors come to.
- There are now 2 Wall Filters, Posts by Your Page and Top Posts from Everyone. Admins have additional filters for viewing posts on your page. To set default filter, go to “Edit Page”.
- BIG! You can now use Facebook AS YOUR PAGE! This is a HUGE change. You now have the flexibility to interact with the other areas of Facebook as a page.
- Get notifications when fans interact with your page or posts
- See activity from the pages you like in your news feed
- Like other pages and feature them on your page
- Make comments as your page on other pages
- More Setting Controls – Set defaults for your e-mail notifications and how you post to your page (as yourself or your page.) You can also select which pages appear in Favorite Pages (to do this, go to Edit Page, and then Featured.). You can also change your Page Type! (In your Admin, click on Basic Information).
