Best practices

Avoid linking to social media pages that are rarely updated or inactive—it can reflect poorly on your site’s credibility
Double-check URLs to ensure you’re linking to verified or official pages representing your team, department, or organization
Only include platforms where you actively engage with your audience

By now, you should feel comfortable adding social media icons to your Studio Site page and linking them to active, official accounts to help promote engagement and extend your digital presence across platforms.
