It never fails, just when you get used to Facebook, they go and change something. If like me, Facebook has rolled out the new 2016 changes for you, and you can’t figure out how to use Facebook “as your page” this may be helpful. The option to use it as your page isn’t where it used to be, but here’s how you do it!
In the past, when you wanted to use Facebook “as your page” (business, blog, etc.), you clicked “use page as” in the drop-down. But if you have the new changes, that option isn’t there. It now says “Your Pages.” You select your page, but you are still using Facebook as YOU.
If you want to comment on any page’s post as your page, look at the tiny drop-down next to the comment form. Click on that and select who you want to comment as. You or one of your pages.
What if you want to like another page, as your business page? When you’re on the page, click the “three dots” up there on the cover photo. Then in the drop-down, select “Like As Your Page” and then select which page you are liking it as.
But the really big change, is how the heck do you find the feed of everything you follow as that page!?
Go to the page you are wanting to use. Then look over in the left column. You will see the option there, to “View Pages Feed.” That is where you will again be able to see the feed of everything you have followed as that page.
I hope this is helpful to others who have had the same issues adjusting to the latest changes Facebook has made.
Until the next time they make changes. :)

May 24, 2016 at 2:14 amThank you for this article, Constance! You saved me! I just set up my page, and I was panicking through all the help pages and all the setup options on my new facebook page to figure out this issue. (let alone I messed it up by creating a whole new account know really realizing that I could create a page from my personal facebook page…. oh well.)
P. S.
Your site is beautiful. :)

April 7, 2016 at 4:34 pmI have not found that option anywhere on the pages app for the phone. I looked, but to no avail. I don’t know if that is something they will offer in the future but I hope so!

April 1, 2016 at 5:42 pmThe changes suck. Why do they have to go and mess up a good thing. I am glad you wrote this because I thought I was going crazy or that my Page had been hijacked.
