Footer

Configure footer and copyrights appearance. Create and manage footers and copyrights with the block editor, then assign global defaults or override per page.

These settings apply to the whole site, so a change here is visible on every page that uses the feature. Find them under Canvas > Theme Options, in the Footer tab.

The tab sits in the rail on the left of the screen, with its own panel beside it:
