Your community dashboard is where you manage your entire community platform.

You can add new posts, create topics, manage members, and also community settings.


Accessing your community area

In the sidebar menu, click on Community and select Home.

You'll be able to jump to your Home feed, create a new topic, add a new Member, or create a New post.

Home

Your Home feed is where you can view all of the posts from topics you follow and have quick access to publish a new post.

Posts from topics you/members DON'T follow will not appear on the Home feed.

Topics

Topics are the place where posts are located. All of the topics you follow will show up in the left-hand menu.

If you click on All topics, you'll be taken to a list of the topics you have access to - even the ones you're not currently following.

If you'd like to view a specific topic on the left-hand menu, you can start following it.

Members

Clicking on Members will take you to a list of all of your current community members.

From there you'll be able to view members in a specific plan, part of a specific role or search for specific members.

New post

Selecting "New post" will allow you to create a brand-new post directly from your Home feed.


Understanding the left-hand menu

The left-hand menu will give you additional options to manage your community platform.

Search

Allows you to search for community posts, topics, and members.

Settings

This is where you’ll be able to edit community settings such as availability, subscription plans, community name, banner image, description, and more.


Understanding your home feed

Your Home feed is where you can view all of the posts from topics you follow and have quick access to publish a new post.

Posts from topics you/members DON'T follow will not appear on the Home feed.

They will be organized from “Newest” -> “Oldest”, based on the date they were published.


FAQ & Troubleshooting

I can’t view any posts; why?

  • Make sure you have created at least one post for your community

  • Be sure you are following the topics that contain posts
