# Social links

You can create a social links block and apply it site-wide, or apply it on a per-page basis.

CivicTheme comes with a set of social media icons for Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. You can upload other social media icons for different platforms. These must be in SVG format to ensure your brand colours will be applied.

**Note on theme settings**: If you set your social media link block to display in the footer aligned with the [footer logo](/content-authoring/site-wide-configuration/footer/footer-logo.md), you need to ensure you set the theme, `Light`or `Dark`,the same for the logos and the social links.

### Create a Social links block

1. Go to the Content > Blocks, or `/admin/structure/block/block-content`
2. Click `Add custom block`
3. Select 'Social links block'
4. Select the 'Light' or 'Dark' theme
5. Choose an exisiting icon (for Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter), or, upload a new icons for other social media platforms (note: these must be .svg files)

### Edit existing social links block

If you need to add, remove, or edit a social media icon or link, or change the theme:

1. Go to Content > Blocks, or `/admin/structure/block/block-content`
2. Find the 'Social links' block
3. Select 'Edit'

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.civictheme.io/content-authoring/site-wide-configuration/footer/social-links-block.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
