How to Group Footer Links Into Columns

Do not index

Your footer doesn't have to be one long list of links anymore. You can now group related links under a heading, and each group shows up as its own column in your footer — like "Resources," "Company," or whatever makes sense for your blog.

Here's how to set one up:

Go to your publication's Settings → Footer.

Click Create a group.

Give the group a name — this becomes the column heading on your live site.

(Optional) Add a short description.

Check off the links you want inside this group, then save.

Repeat for as many groups as you want. Each one becomes its own column in your footer.

Once saved, your group shows up in the footer links list with a Group badge, and the links you picked are nested underneath it. Want to change what's in a group later? Click the edit icon on its row, adjust the name or the selected links, and save. Uncheck a link and it goes right back to being a regular footer link.

Any links you don't add to a group stay right where they are, grouping is optional per link, so you can mix standalone links and columns however you like.

Deleting a group

Click the trash icon on a group's row and save to remove it. Heads up: this deletes the group and every link nested inside it — they don't get released back to your footer list the way they do when you uncheck them while editing. If you want to keep those links around, edit the group first and uncheck them so they return to the flat list, then delete the now-empty group.

Here's what it looks like on a live site:

Everything else (slug, title, meta title, meta description, excerpt) stays the same as before.
