In the previous article, we made an overview of the admin panel in Facebook. But the settings have not been specially touched upon, since this section is very extensive and requires detailed consideration. We will dwell on every single point in detail in several articles. Today we will analyze the general settings of the Facebook admin panel. Let’s start!

Moderating the page

In fact, it is a very useful function. You can enter words where comments and other publications will be blocked (for example, filthy language, abuse, slang, etc.).

Filter of obscene expressions

If you want to limit yourself and your users from obscene language, you may not have to write each word in the paragraph above.

Publications in different languages

Automatic translation

In case you do not write a post in several languages ​​at the same time, you can turn on automatic translation. In this case, your users will be able to see the post in their native language, but the translation will be clumsy – i.e. machinery one.
