Designing a board header

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.)

Adding a tagline

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:

1. Go to your Folloze homepage. Click on the board you want to edit.

2. Click the Design tab. Click Header.

3. Under Tag Line, enter your tagline into the text field.

4. At the bottom, click Save to save your changes. In your header, your tagline will now appear to the right of your logo.

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

By adding share buttons to your header, you make it easy for viewers to share your board via email, or social media. And that’s always a good thing, because the more people your content reaches, the better!

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.

3. At the bottom are toggle buttons for each share button. To enable viewers to email your board to others, turn on the toggle button for Share with Email.

To enable viewers to post your board directly to social media, turn on the toggle buttons for the Facebook, Twitter and/or LinkedIn Share Buttons.

4. At the bottom, click Save to save your changes.

Viewers will now see the share button in the top right of your board:
