Business Manager Series Part 3 - What is the difference between Business Manager and Business Suite?

A brief history of Business Manager tools.

2014: Business Manager was introduced to allow Businesses to group all of their FB and Insta assets together under one business umbrella and easily give employees and contractors admin rights to pages and ad accounts.

It sat in the background as a business ownership structure and didn't affect publishing etc. (further explanation of Business Manager here: what-is-facebook-business-manager)

Late 2020: Business Suite was introduced - this ahas the ability to manage the "front-end" stuff - you can schedule posts, view insights and view messages across both Facebook and Insta in one place.

So Business Manager = back-end ownership and access.

Business Suite = front-end management - creating and scheduling posts, replying to messages etc.

They are merging into one tool (as many of you already have). Business Suite is the homepage, and you manage the 'back-end' business manager through Business Settings, found in the left hand menu of Business Suite.
