Due to changes in Twitter's API the conversation widget that was previously displayed on papers is no longer available. And that's good news!

Now publishers of both Facebook and Twitter based papers can create and customize their own Twitter widget for their paper via their Twitter account.

To get started, simply:

1. Go to your paper settings / add-ons

2. Move the Twitter widget button to ON

3. Click on "Help" and there on the Twitter link. It takes you to the Twitter page where you can

a) choose what the widget shall display (timeline, tweets, favorites, lists),

b) copy the code.

4. Paste the copied code in your paper settings and save your changes.

5. View your paper front page.
