( Mashable ) -- Facebook has begun rolling out a full redesign of Facebook Pages . The changes will make the Pages look and operate more like user profiles . The new Pages redesign was first seen in December , when Facebook accidentally launched it and quickly took it down . The update not only removed tabs , but it gave page admins the ability to post and comment on other Facebook Pages through a `` Login as Page '' feature . Those prototype features have made the cut for today 's launch . As Facebook 's Rohit Dhawan , the lead product manager for Facebook Pages , explained to me earlier today , the company has wanted to redesign Facebook Pages ever since it launched the profile redesign . `` We strongly believe you should have consistent experiences when possible , '' Dhawan said . The big difference everyone will notice will be the new layout . The left-hand menu for editing pages has been removed in favor of a new navigation menu that replaces the old tabbing system . And like the Facebook Profiles redesign , the left-hand `` Information '' box is also gone . However , page admins can now add info about their brand at the top of the page under the main title . The right-hand menu has also been tweaked . There is now a section that features the page 's admins ( if you so choose ) as well as a section that shows users how many of their friends have also `` liked '' that particular page . Finally , just like profiles , a page can now feature relevant photos at the top . This could lead to some very creative uses for Facebook Pages . Log in as your Facebook page . There are some other notable differences between the new Facebook Pages and the old version , especially for page admins . The `` Login as Page '' feature gives admins the ability to interact with the rest of Facebook as a page , not an individual . For example , I could log in as Mashable and start commenting and `` liking '' things on Facebook Pages that have `` liked '' Mashable . Admins will also see a different News Feed if they are logged in as their page ; It will display the most important news from the pages you 've `` liked . '' `` A page can now use Facebook as if they were an individual with the ability to interact with other pages , '' Dhawan said . `` It provides interesting content when people are visiting the page. `` Mashable : What the new Facebook pages mean for users & owners . Pages ca n't do everything a user can , though . Most importantly , they can not post on a user 's wall or comment on his or her status . The lone exception is for a user who has opted for the `` everybody '' privacy setting ; Pages can comment on status updates for those individuals . The other update Facebook is adding is an `` Everyone '' filter that brings the most interesting and engaging posts from a page 's community to the top of the page . This makes it easier for users and admins to easily find the most `` liked '' and commented-on conversations on a particular page . The new Facebook Pages are also smart enough to filter out posts that are not in a language you speak . The new design launches today as a preview for Facebook Page admins . Before switching , they can check to see what their page will look like and tweak elements of the design before launch . The company is also releasing a Page Tour and a manual to explain the new design . Admins will have until March 10 to switch over though , before Facebook automatically updates every page to the new design . © 2013 MASHABLE.com . All rights reserved .
