HOW to override meta tags in CASCADE:

Cascade allows content creators to override or adjust social media meta tags. For example, a content creator may not want to use an image banner or they want to use a different title, description, or image than the one used on a page, event, or news article.

Edit any page, event, or news article and scroll to the bottom of the form and choose the Social Media Sharing Metadata section. You can then add a custom title, description, or image override of your choice.
