Question..i was trying to re-arrange the position of the highlights and i cannot. Do they change position when i post and save a new story? (i know i can just try this.. Oh well 😅)
Great video as always!

[@NataliaKalinska]

They are arranged based on when you posted a story to them. For example, if you have three highlights: Start Here, Courses, Reviews, and you post a story to Reviews, this highlight will take the first spot on your profile. If you then go on to add something to Courses, this will move to the first position. Hope it helps, Filipa 😊

Thx

[@maggiebrookes-buttwriter3230]

Thank you. Is there any way to move Posts into Highlights? I don't seem to have shared things to Story.

[@NataliaKalinska]

Unfortunately, it’s not possible. Highlights are based on Stories so you’d have to share a post to your Stories to then save to Highlights.

[@maggiebrookes-buttwriter3230]

@@NataliaKalinska Thank you. I didn't realise.

[@eachstrokeanewstory6569]

Hi Natalia! I have a question, when it comes to business e-mail, it should be my business name or my name? I will be using outlook, but there are other websites more suitable for branding myself?

[@NataliaKalinska]

It depends on whether you're creating a personal brand or a business brand. If it's the former, it's good to use your name, but with the latter, it's better to use your business name. When it comes to creating a business e-mail, it's good to opt for a custom domain, meaning buy your own domain, but if you're just starting out, it's completely fine to start with outlook.

[@SHABIRAH-dj8xg]

ok

[@dianadelmontecompassionfor7641]

I'm so lost. Going too fast for my slow brain. I just don't get it. What is a story? A short video I take? I'll have to watch this about 20 times -maybe it will make sense. I think I need to hire someone to show me in person. I'm so lost.

[@NataliaKalinska]

Instagram Story is a video format you can post on Instagram. I’d highly recommend you read this guide which should explain what these are and how to use them: blog.hootsuite.com/how-to-use-instagram-stories/amp/

[@profeet-8371]

Not for me. I looked for proper instructions, beginner level. Way to speedy for me. Plus this is for different level.....
