You have arrived on the main stage: tap on any item to customize it. Images (and some other blocks) will display a Multimedia options list, a settings gear, and positioning arrows when highlighted. To add new items, use the blue More icon at the bottom left.
Press the Following icon (three dots) at the top right to save your work, preview your page or switch between editing modes. When you are finished editing a page, tap Publish.
