Table of Content
"This change combines everything you need on Facebook — your profile, search, notifications, messages, and more." He has published several articles relating to social media marketing. From here, you can customize your story with text on a patterned background or you can upload your own image/graphic. Before you share your story, you can choose whether you want the image to appear on news feed or solely on your story. Page notifications and insights are now more finely-tuned for relevance to your particular Page. Conversations will also have a wider reach to an audience outside of your followers so that their followers can see your content that is relevant to them, too.
You may see a notice at the top of Facebook that you're using an old browser. Even though your browser is current, Facebook doesn't register this due to the extension. You'll have to live with this as part of sticking with the old layout. Technically, there's nothing wrong with either one---your attachment to the old layout is probably from muscle memory of knowing where everything is. Thankfully, clever third-party developers have come to the rescue.
The Facebook cover photo size has changed
It also has native support for dark mode and uses more of the screen's width. As you can see, there’s quite a lot to like about the new Facebook page layout. The layout is super clean, there’s a prominent call-to-action, and there’s lots of possibilities to customize the page how you want. When public figures comment on your posts, their responses will show up at the top of the comments. In addition, prospective audience members will be able to follow your Page directly from a button in your comments or posts where your Page is recommended to them. Notifications are shifting to help Pages stay engaged with their followers, too.
Please note that the cover photo sizes vary across a personal/business page, an event, or a group. Although the new size hasn’t changed by much, you may need to make some minor adjustments when creating Facebook cover photos. The old Facebook cover size was 851px by 315px while the new cover photo displays at 820px by 360px on desktop. This means that the width of the cover photos has slightly increased. The options menu at the top-right is a little different, and the search bar is slightly more prominent. Having most of the navigation and options on the left is commonly seen in web design; Twitter and Gmail both have a similar look.
The call-to-action button is prominent and customizable
In this post, we’re going to walk you through the recently-announced new Facebook page experience so you can take advantage of everything there is to offer. Love it or hate it, the new Facebook page layout is here to stay. A welcome screen boasts of a few enhancements the company has made to its main product, including "faster loading times" and "a cleaner look and bigger text." I don't remember whether I opted in for this, but I can't find a way to roll it back, so this is what the Facebook experience looks like for me right now. After that, you’ll see a dialog that prompts you to ask your audience for the kinds of questions you’d like to answer for them.
Page admin assignments are now based on task rather than general roles. That way, you can easily select what your team members are allowed to do from inside your Page. Whether you need someone to run ads, post content, or review insights, you can give that person only the permissions they need to get their tasks done.
More powerful safety features
It's also hard to get used to having absolutely nothing on the top right, where some of the most important features and options previously were. Once you’ve decided on your topic, follow the prompts to create your post. You can add your own image to the post by choosing a photo that’s already on your Page or uploading an image from your computer. Additionally, you can add text to your post, but the text is optional. From within your Page management dashboard, you can now curate and follow a dedicated News Feed that is created only for your Page.
Host your first Q&A, simply click the icon below when you’re ready to post. In the left-hand panel of your Page dashboard, you’ll see a link to open your News Feed. Another thing that’s new is the location of the Facebook page navigation tabs. Previously they were located on the top nav-bar and now they’ve moved to the left hand side of the page. Over time, Facebook will begin removing Likes from your Page and placing the emphasis on Followers. Facebook is the always-changing, ever-evolving platform that businesses need to be keeping up with, even if it’s a little exhausting.
This feature allows you to engage with and follow other businesses and trends within your industry, in addition to engaging with fans and peers in the field. It’s a whole new way to leverage Facebook for professional development and the latest industry trends. Facebook is rolling out a fresh new layout for its Pages that makes navigation, interaction, and management easier than ever before. Pages are more streamlined and boast an all-new, clean look and feel. Along with the change in cover photo sizing, Facebook has also added the ability to add a short video as your Facebook cover photo or even multiple photos as a slideshow. Not to worry, we’ve already updated our Facebook cover size and all of our templates inside of Snappa.
Facebook, however, has a vast amount of options, features, buttons, and shortcuts, and placing all of them on the left might not be the ideal solution. Facebook offered an explanation of what's new with a brief wizard. "We moved all your navigation options into one place," it said.
Matt Krause, the developer behind the excellent Social Fixer extension, created a new browser extension called Old Layout. This lets you keep using Facebook's old look with a simple trick. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.
Similarly, some features may not work on Facebook when you're using the old layout. Since Facebook thinks you're using an unsupported browser, it may prevent you from playing some games or using newer features. You'll need to switch back to the new layout to access this content. Click the extension's icon in your browser's menu bar to switch between the old and new layouts without disabling the extension. Instead, it simply fools Facebook into thinking that you're using an old browser that doesn't work with the new layout. Facebook then reverts back to the classic design, which you can enjoy without configuring anything.
Likes mean more one-time visits to your Page, but not necessarily ongoing engagement. By focusing on Follower count instead, Facebook is helping businesses recognize their active audiences. Your Followers are the people who truly connect with your content.
