Reduce font size

Check this box to reduce the font size of the headline and of the description texts.

Replace Headlines (replace headline text)

Replaces headline text with new text. Each line is a headline url and the text to replace the existing text, separated by a tab. The easiest way to use this option is to create a spreadsheet with two columns (headline url, new headline text), copy the contents of the two columns, and paste them into the app. This approach will ensure the required tabs are inserted properly. See this Google Sheets for an example.

Note: This option replaces only the headline text but not the description text.

https://www.url1.com	headline1
https://www.url2.com	headline2

Replace Images

Replaces image with images (specified as urls). Each line is a headline url and a url to an image separated by a tab. As with Replace Headlines, the easiest way to use this option is to create a spreadsheet with two columns (headline url, image url), copy the contents of the two columns, and paste them into the app. This approach will ensure the required tabs are inserted properly. See this Google Sheets for an example.

https://www.url1.com	https://www.newimage1.jpeg
https://www.url2.com	https://www.newimage2.jpeg

Replace Headlines and Images

Replace headline text and image at the same time by checking both boxes. As with Replace Headlines and Replace Images, create a spreadsheet with three columns (headline, new text, new image url), copy the contents of the three columns, and paste them into the app. This approach will ensure the required tabs are inserted properly. See this Google Sheets for an example.

https://www.url1.com	headline1	https://www.newimage1.jpeg
https://www.url2.com	headline2	https://www.newimage2.jpeg
