Adding the module

You can add a Social Media Links module by selecting it under the Social Media category when you choose "Add module".

To edit your Social Media Links module after it has been added, double-click the module or click the pencil icon. You can then expand and edit the options under Content or Design in the module overlay.

Content

There are two ways to add links to your Social Media Links module:

Use Global Data

• Turn on "Use global data source" to display the social links you previously created in Global Data.

Manually Adding Links

• Click Add Link and choose the type of social medium by clicking on the corresponding icon. When you click on an icon, the name of your link is automatically changed.
• Insert the URL of your social media page (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/companyname/) into the URL field.
• You can also add a title tag, which is displayed when visitors hover their mouse over the social media icon, and which contributes to better visibility in search engines.
• You can adjust the order of the icons by pressing and holding the 6 dots before the respective link and dragging it to the desired position with the mouse.

Design

In the Local Design section, you can locally adjust the alignment and design of the icons, the module background, the border, and the spacing for your Social Media Link module. You can customize the basic cross-page design on the left side (Design -> Modules -> Social Media -> Social Media Links) of the screen.
