Facebook Removing Certain Business Page Info Sections August 1, 2019

Facebook is removing a number of Page info fields on August 1, with prompts urging Page admins to integrate those fields into other sections:

• Mission
• Company Overview
• Biography
• Affiliation
• Personal Interests
• And Others

​​Not sure which fields you need to move or lose? Here's an easy way to find out:

1. Above your Page's cover photo, click on "Settings"
2. On the left, click on "Page Info"
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Look for a box that says "The following fields will be removed on August 1, 2019. Consider adding this info to your Page's description." (shown above). Fields showing below this box are those slated for removal.

If you are fine with losing this information on your page, do nothing. Otherwise, consider copying/cutting the text and pasting it into another field, such as:

• The "About" field: This is a brief summary of your Page, and is limited to 255 characters.  
• "Impressum" field: This is an optional field, and is limited to 2,000 characters.
