## Purpose and location: 

This dialog defines the meta information of the current HelpXplain project.

**Location:** File > Properties

## Meta Information tab

This provides users with information about you and your Xplain infographic, both when they are viewing it in a browser and when it is linked to in social media like Facebook or Twitter. It should always be configured for Xplains that are going to be made public.

| | |
|------|------|
| Title: | Exported title |
| Publisher: | Exported publisher, i.e. you or your company or the author of the Xplain. |
| Description: | A short description of this Xplain. When you share it on social media sites, this text will describe the link. |
| Redirect URL: | The URL of the Xplain, used primarily for sharing. Remember to include the http://, https:// or // prefix\! |
| Twitter name | Used in Twitter meta tags when a link to the Xplain is shared on Twitter |


## Custom Meta Tags tab

This allows you to add your own HTML meta tags to be inserted in the **<head>** section of the Xplain HTML page. You must add the full tag, just as you would when entering it in a manually-edited HTML page. For example you can use this for refined OpenGraph meta tags, your Facebook app ID or custom tags for other social media sites. 

## Custom Scripts tab

For developers only. This is where you can add your own scripts used to modify, enhance or add to the Xplains. See [Global Scripts](gf-developers_gscripts.html.md) in the Developers chapter for details.
