    That will take us to a page that says, "Limit The Audience for Old Posts on Your Timeline
    .
    If you use this tool, content on your timeline you've shared with friends of friends or Public will change to Friends. Remember people who are tagged and their friends may see those posts as well. You also have the option to individually change the audience of your posts. Just go to the post you want to change and choose a different audience." As it says, we can change posts individually, but this is going to change all of them.
