  1. Sign into your Edlio CMS admin panel as a Website Administrator or Super Administrator.

  2. Navigate to Site Management > Settings.

  3. Click the Social tab to access connected accounts.

  4. Click Connect next to the desired platform and authenticate using your school's administrative social credentials.

💡 Best-Practice Adoption Tip: Designate shared administrative logins (e.g., [email protected]) rather than personal staff accounts when connecting social profiles. This prevents token breakage when staff members transition roles during the school year.
