This is how to manage your “WeChat wow list”

2. Scroll down and check our your “wow” articles (the articles you marked with “wow”).
3. If you wish to rearrange it, open each article you “wowed”. double click on the wow articled will take it out from your “wow” list and you will not see it any more. That way you can keep only the articles you really liked.
If you got your own items and official account, lucky you.
You can ask people to press on the wow bottom. As more they will press on it, the bigger the exposure will be!
