To manage or edit your Facebook Business Manager, you primarily use the Business Settings section, which allows you to update business information, manage people, and control assets.
How Do I Manage or Edit My Facebook Business Manager?
Managing or editing your Facebook Business Manager involves accessing its central settings area, where you can update business details, add or remove people, manage assets like Pages and Ad Accounts, and configure various other operational aspects.
Accessing Your Business Manager Settings
The first step to making any changes is to navigate to your Business Manager's settings:
- Go to Facebook Business Manager: Open your web browser and navigate to business.facebook.com.
- Select Your Business: If you have access to multiple Business Managers, you'll be prompted to select the specific business you wish to manage from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to Business Settings:
- Once inside your selected Business Manager, look for the square fly-out menu (often represented by an icon with nine dots or lines) located in the left-hand navigation pane.
- Click on this menu, then select Business Settings.
This will take you to the main control panel for your Business Manager, where you can initiate various modifications.
Editing Your Business Information
Within Business Settings, you can specifically update your core business details.
Here's how to edit your Business Info:
| Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Go to Business Info | Once in Facebook Business Settings, scroll down the left-hand navigation panel and click on Business Info. |
| 2 | Click Edit | On the Business Info page, you will see an Edit button. Click this to modify details such as your business name, address, phone number, website, and primary page. |
| 3 | Save Changes | After making your desired updates, ensure you save them. |
- Practical Insight: Keeping your Business Info accurate is crucial for verification processes and maintaining trust with your audience and Facebook.
Other Key Ways to "Change" Your Business Manager
Beyond editing basic business information, "changing" your Business Manager can encompass a variety of other management tasks:
1. Managing People and Roles
You can control who has access to your Business Manager and what permissions they have.
- Adding People:
- In Business Settings, go to People.
- Click Add People (or + Add) and enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
- Choose their role:
- Employee access: Limited access to assigned assets.
- Admin access: Full control over the Business Manager.
- Assign them access to specific assets (Pages, Ad Accounts, etc.).
- Click Invite.
- Removing People: Select the person under People and click Remove.
- Changing Permissions: Select a person, then click Assign Assets to modify their access levels to specific assets.
2. Controlling Assets (Pages, Ad Accounts, Instagram Accounts)
Your Business Manager is designed to centralize the management of your business's Facebook and Instagram assets.
- Adding Assets:
- Navigate to the relevant section (e.g., Pages, Ad Accounts, Instagram Accounts) under Accounts in Business Settings.
- Click + Add and choose how you want to add the asset (e.g., add an existing Page, request access to a Page, or create a new Page).
- Removing Assets: Select the asset you wish to remove and click Remove. Be cautious, as removing an asset can have significant implications for your advertising and social media presence.
- Assigning Assets to People/Partners: Once assets are added, you can assign them to individuals or partner businesses to manage.
3. Switching Between Business Managers
If you manage multiple businesses, you can easily switch between your Business Managers:
- When you log in to business.facebook.com, you'll usually see a dropdown menu at the top where you can select which Business Manager you want to work in.
- Alternatively, click the Home icon in the left-nav and select the desired business from the overview.
4. Transferring Business Assets to Another Business Manager
This is a more complex "change" and typically involves careful planning. For example, to transfer a Facebook Page:
- The Page must be without any active Ad Account connections to the source Business Manager.
- The admin of the Business Manager must be an admin of the Page.
- You'd typically "release" the Page from the current Business Manager (if possible, by removing it from the Business Manager and then re-adding it to another one, or by going through a Page ownership transfer process).
- For Ad Accounts, transferring can be more restricted, often requiring direct contact with Facebook support in certain scenarios.
5. Deleting Your Business Manager
If a Business Manager is no longer needed, it can be deleted. This is a permanent action:
- In Business Settings, go to Business Info.
- Look for the Permanently Delete Business option.
- You will need to remove all associated Pages, Ad Accounts, and people before deletion is possible.
- Follow the prompts to confirm deletion.
- Important Note: Deleting a Business Manager is irreversible and will remove all associated assets and data from that Business Manager.
By understanding these various functions within Business Settings, you can effectively manage and "change" your Facebook Business Manager to suit your evolving business needs. For more detailed instructions on specific tasks, refer to the official Facebook Business Help Center.
