The header is the space running across the very top of your board. It includes room for a logo, tagline and share buttons. To edit and design your header, you can use the features in the Header tab – the second tab under Design.
Note: Whenever you design a specific section of your board, Folloze displays a mini-preview highlighting that section with a green outline and label.
The mini-preview takes up the right half of the design toolbox, and automatically updates whenever you make design changes, even if you haven’t saved them. (To make changes permanent, click Save.)

Folloze provides space in your header where you can add a tagline for your company. For the tagline, many users choose a slogan which their organization already uses.
To add a tagline to your board header:

Tip: Taglines are limited to 50 characters. Use the counter in the lower right corner of the text field to keep track.
Solid white header background
To make your header’s background a solid white, turn on the toggle button for Solid Background Color (White).
Alternately, you can leave your header’s background clear by turning off the toggle button. In this case, the top portion of your banner background image will become the header background.
Enabling viewers to share your board: adding share buttons

To add share buttons to a board:
1. Go to your Folloze homepage. Click on the board you want to edit.
2. Click the Design tab. Click Header.
