Community privacy and visibility

‍

Public communities are visible to everyone on the Communities discover page. All employees can browse and join public communities.

‍

Private communities are only visible to members of the community and to folks that are invited to join the community. To join a private community, employees must be invited by the leader.

The privacy of the Slack channel connected to the community corresponds to the community privacy. If your community is private, the connected Slack channel will also be private.

‍

To change the community privacy:

‍

1. Go to Manage community from the Communities Dashboard
2. Click on the Settings tab
3. In the Community information section, click the Edit button
4. An Edit community sidesheet will open on the right side of the page
5. Scroll down and select the community privacy
6. Click the Save button
