# Customizing Your Footer

The v6 footer gives you room for a logo, a short tagline, columns of links, social links, and a disclaimer. It shows at the bottom of every page, so your readers can find what they need fast.

The footer options only exist on [v6 templates](/article/uQDebSnIrD-choosing-a-layout). If you switch to an older template, your footer is saved and shows again when you switch back.

### Edit your footer

1. Head to **Settings** > **Customize**
2. Scroll to the **Footer** section, just after **Navigation**.
3. Fill in the parts you want to show.
4. Hit **Publish**.

### What you can add

### Add a footer for each language

Each language can have its own footer, so your readers feel right at home 🌍. If you publish content in [more than one language](/article/NjjPixGLuy-translating-your-docs), you can set this up in a few steps.

1. Head to **Settings** > **Languages** and open **Brand text**.
2. Open the language you want to change.
3. Scroll to the **Footer** section and set it up.
4. Hit **Publish**.

A language with no footer, or an empty one, shows your default language's footer.

If a translation already has its own footer, it won't change when you edit the default language's footer. To make it follow the default again, clear that language's footer in Brand text.

### Set a footer for a domain

If you use [multiple custom domains](/article/l92xdm4enl-hosting-multiple-domains), each one can have its own footer. Head to **Settings** > **Domains**, open the domain, and set its footer. Leave it empty to use your account's footer.

### HelpDocs Branding

The footer always shows a small HelpDocs attribution row. To change how it's displayed, see [Can I Change the HelpDocs Branding?](/article/Z5uxITupzV)
