# Setting up the basic footer

Add a "Footer" to your knowledge base site to add links to essential resources or information, such as pricing information, free trial sign-up, a Contact us page, etc. Similar to the primary and secondary navigation bar, users can add up to six custom links to the footer navigation. Also, add and feature social media links to drive engagement in your social channels. Custom links will display on the left side of the footer navigation, while social media links will be on the right.
