Installing the Open Graph Meta Tag add-on creates the meta tags used by Facebook to summarize a page on a site.
When a site user clicks the Facebook Like button on your page, Facebook creates a short summary of the page within their feed. This information (headline, text, image) come from these meta tags.
Once installed, pages maintain its specific set of META tags automatically from information set on the page record. On any story page within the CHC versions of the newsletter, META tags are created based on the story record.

Clearing the Open Graph cache for a page on Facebook
Once Facebook pulls in Open Graph META data for a page, it is cached. That cache will reflect any META data collected until it is cleared. Anytime META data that contributes to the Open Graph META tags of a page is changed, the cache must be cleared in order for those changes to appear. Facebook has provided the following tool that will both debug your Open Graph META data as well as clear its cache for a single page. Click here to access Facebook's debugging tool.
