Thanks for this, John. Great to know about this! One follow-up. Do you know if this changes how your comments will show up on your own Page? The old way, if you were a Page Admin and left a comment (e.g. to answer someone’s question posted on your wall) it automatically showed up as the Page avatar. Sometimes this is what our org would like. But there are other times we would like to post as our own personal identity. This is especially true for our Executive Director. Sometimes, she would like to post news bits as Common Hope. Other times, she would like to comment/respond as Shari Blindt. Do you know if we can toggle back and forth in this way now?

Oh I found where you can change this! Under “Edit Page – Settings,” you can check or uncheck the following: “Always comment and post on your page as Common Hope even when using Facebook as Kate Lucas.
Note: You’re currently using Facebook as Common Hope. To use Facebook as Kate Lucas, go to Account at the top of any page.” This is so great! Thanks for the overview, John!

There may be cased when you’d want to post as a Profile (instead of a Page). Toggling makes it much easier.
