# Sharing and social

### Social accounts

You can add social accounts to your site’s metadata and footer from the **Sharing** tab in the customization menu.

Click **+ Add account** and choose an account type from the list of included options — such as X, GitHub, LinkedIn, Discord and Bluesky. Adding a social account in this menu also adds it to your site’s metadata.

For each social account, you can toggle its visibility in your docs site’s footer on or off, without affecting the metadata.

### Social preview

Here, you can upload a custom social preview image for your site. This will set the site’s `og:image` to your uploaded image, and it’ll show when the site’s link is shared to any platform or product that supports OpenGraph images, such as Slack or X.

If you don’t add a social preview, GitBook will automatically generate one using your theme color, page title and description.

If your site has multiple [site sections](/docs/docs-site/site-structure/site-sections.md), you can use the drop-down menu at the top of the Customization screen to switch between each section and add a custom social preview image for each one.
