Learn how to create and add cards to your streams.
Cards are semi-permanent messages that appear over your channel's sidebar. They offer a great way to deliver a message to new visitors or highlight content.
Unlike overlays, which disappear after a set amount of time, a card remains over the sidebar until the user dismisses it themselves or it is manually removed by an admin.
After selecting the channel, creating and adding a card can be done from the Editor or Panels tab in the admin navigation bar.
How to Create Cards in Editor
- Click the "Edit Channel" button at the top right of your Maestro Site
- Click the sidebar to edit it
-
Continue from Step 2 in the tutorial below
How to Create Cards in Panels
- Click "Panels" from the admin bar
- If you don’t see the header "Sidebar Settings," click "BACK" in the top right of the sidebar (Note: When you enter the sidebar you’ll be taken back to wherever you left off last time you were in the sidebar)
- Click "Set Card"
- Click the preview button to the right of the card to view an example in the preview window:
- Click "Use" to select and start editing a card’s content
- After entering your content, click "Save To Library"
- Click the "+" button next to the card to add it (Note: You’ll see it in the preview and changes will be saved automatically)
- Click "Publish" to push changes live, then exit the editor
How to Edit a Card
- Click the edit button next to the card:
- To remove a card, click the "X" next to the card
- To switch to a different card, click "Change Card"
- Click "Library" to pick from your previously added cards, or click "Catalog" to create a new card
- Make sure to save your cards (check the top left of the site for the "SAVED" icon) and then click "Publish" to push changes live, then Exit Editor
Note: Removing a card does not delete it. The card will still remain in your library and can be added later on.
