What is a Social block?
A Social block is a row or column of social icons. Each item has a platform, URL, and optional label so recipients can open your profiles.
Use Social in a footer or about section. Use Menu when the links are text navigation (Home, Shop, Contact) rather than social networks.
How to add
- Open the Blocks tab in the left sidebar.
- Drag Social into a column on the canvas.
- Click the block to edit its content and properties.
