There are many ways to do it! Follow these steps to create a custom cover for your highlight, edit it, and view insights. Once you have created your highlight, the fun begins! Make sure to include attractive visuals and content that fits with your brand guidelines! Whether you want your followers to like your posts, or just to follow along, there are a lot of options!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_custom_highlight_cover\"><\/span>Create a custom highlight cover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can create a custom highlight cover on Instagram to match your brand&#8217;s aesthetic. Rather than using templates, you can create your own cover by selecting a design and exporting it as a JPG or PNG file. These files are smaller in size, yet they retain the quality of images. You can create a custom highlight cover using your graphics program of choice. When creating your cover, remember to resize it to 1080 x 1920 pixels. If you are unsure how to do this, you can move the guides layer to the top.<\/p>\n<p>To create a custom highlight cover, start by selecting the name and the image for your highlight. You can use an existing image or take a new one and upload it. Once you have uploaded your image, you can edit the cover using the photo symbol. Once you&#8217;re done with editing, simply pinch and move the cover and enter your new text. Don&#8217;t forget to save your cover to your camera roll! You can recreate it later.<\/p>\n<p>To make a custom highlight cover on Instagram, you can use a design tool, such as Adobe Illustrator. The app allows you to choose from a wide range of colors and elements, including food icons. Then, select the background and text colors that best match your brand&#8217;s aesthetic. Lastly, you can use stickers to create custom highlights. Once you&#8217;ve made your cover, you can post it to your Instagram profile to show off your content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Edit_a_highlight\"><\/span>Edit a highlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve posted a Highlight in the Stories section of your Instagram account, you can edit it. You can choose to remove or delete it. To edit your Highlight, tap the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button below the photo or video. This will bring you to the profile page where you can delete or edit your Highlight. In the Highlights section, you can add a cover for your post. Here&#8217;s how to edit and remove Highlights in your Instagram story:<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to open the highlight in which you want to edit it. You can edit the highlight&#8217;s title by pressing the &#8220;H&#8221; key. Next, you can add clips and change the cover photo if desired. Once you&#8217;re done editing, tap &#8220;Done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to edit your Highlight, click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button. Choose the cover photo and the cover icon. Make sure that they match your profile&#8217;s aesthetic. You can choose to use a thumbnail of your highlight story or upload an image from your camera roll. Once you&#8217;re done editing the cover, you can add the highlight to your profile or delete it completely. It won&#8217;t appear in your Stories archive, though.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"View_insights_on_a_highlight\"><\/span>View insights on a highlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When viewing your Stories on Instagram, you may wonder: &#8220;What makes a story so popular?&#8221; Fortunately, there is a simple way to find out. Insights are a section of the Stories app that allow you to see how many people like a particular story. These insights are only available for stories that you&#8217;ve shared on Instagram within the past 24 hours. To access these insights, simply tap the &#8220;View Insights&#8221; action button at the bottom of the post grid.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you see a highlight, you&#8217;ll notice a summary page with metrics that you can tap to see more information. Insights for specific posts also allow you to view which posts are popular. This information can help you create more relevant content for your followers. The insights for specific posts can also help you plan your post schedule. The analytics tab on Instagram is easy to access and can help you determine when to post based on your audience&#8217;s interests.<\/p>\n<p>Another useful tool in your toolkit is the ability to view your followers&#8217; activity patterns. Highlights are best shared during peak hours, when users are most engaged. For example, you can use Highlights to highlight a new product, a promotion, or a special offer. In addition to being able to view insights on your Instagram posts, they also let you view which users have commented on your content the most.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aoxA73S0LYQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"430\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"240\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add to Highlights on Instagram If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to add to your highlights on Instagram, you&#8217;re not alone.
