Maybe used wrong verbiage - in the same area where menus and footers are ‘dragged’ into the page - have a custom folder for user created content… I personally would have 5-7 social SVG with links I would personally have 4 music SVG links Make sense? 🙂 I use the same social and music SVG links over and over…. ![Screenshot 2025-10-05 at 10.48.51 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/6/e6828e3033cca4c083cccec3f99882fb8cf35f60.png) ---

Well - loaded question with workarounds… for me I used to open previous projects then drag or copy them to the new one - sometimes works It doesn’t work when social is in the menu don’t know why.. Have to copy it down into the body of the document - then copy paste to another project… ---

Sorry I may be being dumb here. So you build a website to showcase you/products/services etc. You then put a link to your social media to get more traffic away from your site and then hopefully they will come back to your site? I can tell you now the majority of people once away from your site who go on social media will stay on social media and continue on there away from your initial link as they will see their friends/notifications/messages etc and then you have lost them from Social link and website. What are you trying to achieve? The number game or real interaction time with your clients? IMO If you want people to stay with you I would build a landing page with iframes for your website and Social Media links at least that way they are remaining on your site. ---

Sorry for being so stupid guys - didn’t know you could drag a flex into the ‘menu’ I’m very sorry. Just didn’t know this one… would’ve save me A LOT of time to know it. Can’t wait to make my own custom sections that I use all the time… This is a HUGE time saver for me… I was doing it much differently… ![Screenshot 2025-10-06 at 6.30.36 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/c/2cb1ee1a65d60d0d07da7f4ceb39f1fa648c6b87.png) ---

yes - hopefully they will like your products/services and share your company with social media… that is the hope 🙂 it seems to be prominent on my tech sites that I visit - to have it in the top menu whether it works or not - don’t know… ---

Surely you need a review section?
