This is Step 4 in our Creating and launching your community guide. Head over to the overview page to start at the beginning!
Publishing community posts helps you to stay in touch with your members, post updates to your community area and deliver value.
You can use posts to share updates, upload individual files, or spark discussion among the members of your community.
Creating a community post
Here's how to create and write a post:
Click on New post in the community homepage.
Now it’s time to write your post!
Give it a title and write its content. You can easily upload different types of media to your post though our rich-text editor such as videos, images, audio clips & more!
Make sure to also select the topic your post will be assigned to at the bottom of the post editor.
When you're done, click on “Post” to open publishing options:
Publish: publishes the post immediately
Schedule…: schedule it to be published in the future
Save as a draft: saves your post as draft so it can be edited later
Discard: Discards the post you've made
Once your post is published, it will either go live immediately or follow the schedule you’ve set. It will appear in the topic you selected, and all members with access to that topic will be able to view it.
Now that you've written your first post, let's move forward with Step 5: Customizing your community sales page.
