Overview

The Community section brings members together in one collaborative space where they can join groups, interact with other members, participate in discussions, and stay updated with community activities.

Depending on how your membership is configured, you may have access to one or more public or private groups. Once you've joined a group, you can create posts, comment on discussions, react to content, and participate in conversations with other members.

This helps notify specific members during discussions.

Tips

• Introduce yourself after joining a new community.
