Facebook cannot seem to stay satisfied with its design. Once you’ve become adjusted to a new layout on their site, they tend to go ahead and switch things up once again. The newest ‘victim’ of Facebook redesign is the Pages page, but don’t worry, this one truly is for the better. Here’s a rundown of what to expect and how to navigate your brand new Facebook Page.
Design
What you’ll immediately notice is that the new Facebook Pages now resembles your user profile page. Thumbnails of photos that you have in your galleries now sit above your wall. Rest-assured that these photos will NOT include fan photos, so random visitors will not have the power to mess with these thumbnails.
Navigation links (Wall, Info, Photos, etc) are now placed on the left hand side of the page, just like they are on normal profile pages.
There are now two Wall filters. You can have your Wall display only your posts or posts by Everyone, including you. To decide what you want to filter, visit your Edit page.
Admin
The new Admin options is really where the changes set themselves apart from the previous design.
If you will notice on the right hand side of the page the option ‘Use Facebook as (Your Business)’. By choosing this link, you will now:
-Get notifications when fans Like a post, write on your wall, etc.
-View the Wall feed for the Pages that you have set as your Page’s Favorites
-Comment/Like posts and other Pages as your Page (Ex. Spectrum can ‘Like’ a post that your company makes on your Facebook Page if we have made your Page one of our Favorites. Just think of all the different brand interactions!)
You can easily switch back to posting as yourself by choosing Account in the upper right hand corner and then click on ‘Switch back to (Yourself)’.
Next time you log in to Facebook, go ahead and choose to update your Page by visiting your specific Page. Test out the new features. Have fun with it! Favorite Spectrum on Facebook and before you know it, we can be sharing witty banter between brands!
