Facebook Timeline for Pages –What You Need to Know

The new Timeline layout is coming to your Facebook business Page whether you like it or not. Now the Facebook Timeline is mandatory for Pages. As of March 31th, 2012, ALL Facebook Pages will switch over to the new layout. If you haven't updated your Facebook Page and don't know what to do, then you should take a few minutes to watch the overview videos below.

To help you prepare for the changes, we have a number of materials that will help you with the transition. We have a video overview, broken into three parts below, that will explain the Timeline for Pages, how to use it, and some of the features of the new layout.

Then we have seven new training videos to walk you through how to update your Page and use some of the new features. We also have a 17 page PDF (and ePub) guide if you'd rather read about the changes than watch the videos. The links for these materials are at the bottom of this page.

The first video segment opens with Facebook's incredible reach and then explains the new Timeline layout, the cover image and restrictions, and how the new profile image works.



 

TEAR DOWN THE WALL! The infamous Wall has been replaced by the Activity Feed. This video explains how the About section, App display, highlight feed, navigation and the new Activity Feed all work.



 

Pinning. This last video in the series demonstrates pinning posts, the friend feed, Milestones, shared stories, messaging and more.
