Mark Zuckerberg is introducing more and more modifications to group settings on Facebook. Check out what's new on FB!
2018 is a breakthrough 12 months that will change forever the way the leader among social media is perceived. Facebook announces significant changes in the area of internally created groups. Here are the first of them:
1. Personalization
Group personalization on Facebook
This change will definitely delight all design enthusiasts. Personalizing the header colors will distinguish a given group and emphasize the identity of its participants.
The dominant colors in the cover photo will change the color of the group header on Facebook.
The cover photo that is added will affect the color scheme of the top part of the screen, which will automatically adjust to the graphic.
2. Highlighting announcements
How to pin posts?
The flood of important content becomes problematic, especially when group administrators have to decide which post is the most important. The new modifications on Facebook will make it possible to pin to the top of the page several posts at the same time. This solution will ensure that none of the important messages escape group members.
How to do it?
- Go to the settings of the post you want to mark.
- Click the "pin to top" icon.
- Choose the tile with information about how long you want the post to be visible at the very top of the group.
- Repeat the same steps for the next posts that are important to you.
3. Search analysis
New tools for administrators
The scope of administrative capabilities will definitely expand. According to the latest assumptions, group administrators will gain the ability to check what keywords users use to find the post they are interested in.
4. Group rules
Group rules and safety
A specially added section will make it easier to post rules that apply to all interested group members.
To add group rules, you should:
- Go to admin tools.
- Find the "rules" tile and activate it.
- Create your own rules or use the sample ready-made templates provided below.
- The last step is to publish the highlighted rules.
Thanks to the rules, not only will the internal safety of users increase, but it will also help in selecting important materials, which will definitely shorten work time when searching for a specific rule.
Summary
2018 brings significant changes to how groups function on Facebook. Users gain tools for personalizing the appearance, effectively highlighting important posts, and analyzing member behavior. Administrators can now add rules, which improves safety and order in the community.
Interestingly, the new features allow several posts to be pinned at the same time, which makes it easier to manage information in discussion groups, for example those dedicated to culinary recipes.
