Basics
To do this, first head to Settings > Basics. Here, you can change the name of your wall and the descriptive content that will be displayed when you share the wall with others.
A. Customize the end tail of your URL
B. Add a custom title to your wall
C. Add an image that can be displayed in the link preview when shared on Slack, social media, and search engines
D. Specify a title that should be displayed when you share the link to your wall

💡 Hint: The Sharing descriptions also help strengthen the SEO (search engine optimization) score of your wall.
✅ Final check: Once completed, your Basics section should look something like this.
Behavior
Automatic Scrolling
To enable and set up automatic scrolling of your social wall, go to Settings > Behavior >Automatic Scrolling.
You can customize the scrolling speed as well as the number of pages to scroll before going back to the top.
🔎 Please note: Automatic scrolling works for both the Fluid and the Grid layouts.
✅ Final check: Once completed, your wall should look something like this.
Post Shuffling
New content will always show up immediately and at the top of your wall. But, in the rare case that your participants are not adding new posts or activity is low, you can enable the Post Shuffle feature to send older posts to the top.
💡 Hint: This makes it look like there is constant activity even in low periods.

Privacy & Tracking
For this part of the quick start guide, we'll focus on the Privacy settings. Here, you can adjust the visibility of your wall to others. To learn more about Google Analytics Tracking, please check out this page.
Privacy
A. Visible to Everyone: Anyone can visit your wall via your link which will also be indexed by search engines.
B. Hidden from Search Engines: Anyone can access your wall but it will NOT be indexed by search engines. The link can still be shared by others, though.
C. Secret: Your wall is only available to people who have the secret link. It will NOT be indexed by search engines and is not shareable among others.
If you would like to set your wall to Secret, first save your selection in order to generate the private link.
Once you have saved, you can either copy the link displayed or change the link.
⚠️ Please note: When you change the link, the previously displayed link expires.
