Q: I have accessed the Settings section and attempted to update my business name, but it’s greyed out and won’t change – why so?
A: To change the name of your business anytime, please access the “Brand Kit” section – you’ll notice that the “Business name” field is editable there.
Q: Why can’t I see my Brand Card and generated posts? Everything is set up, but the preview is blank.
A: Most probably, you have an ad blocker enabled in your Internet browser. Such software may be interfering with the normal operational mode of Alkai. Please disable the ad blocker software and reload the Alkai tab to see if this resolves the issue.
Q: What if I don’t want to include the Brand Card in my posts?
A: You can disable (or enable) the visibility of the Brand Card by clicking on the toggle under Settings – Brand Kit – Modify brand settings – Add Brand Card to end of post. Alternatively, you can switch this setting on the “Edit post” screen under the Brand directory in the bottom tray.
Q: I have changed my preferred color palette and fonts on the “Edit post” screen, but the selection wasn’t carried over to my next posts – what gives?
A: Changing the preferences on the “Edit post” screen will not persist for your future posts – it is designed to edit styles on the post-by-post basis. If you need to change the styling for all your future posts altogether, please consider navigating to Settings outside the post creation screen and updating from there.
