Group admins have the ability to send a group blast, update the group's look, adjust its settings & manage its members.

  2. Type your new message in the box.
  3. Select Done.

The date will show the last time the message was edited.  Select the Trash Can icon to remove the existing message.

Rules and moderation

  • Moderating your group: Set group rules & set safety levels. 
  • Manage members: Promote, temporarily remove, or ban group members.
  • Group rules: Write up the group rules. Individuals are then required to agree to the rules before becoming a member.
  • Privacy: Control what non-members can see on your group page & set your group’s overall privacy level. (Note: If you make a public group private this action is irreversible.)
  • 18+: Indicate if you're allowing "Moderate" or "Restricted" content.

About your group

  • Name / URL / Description: Describe your group/ link to an external website.
  • Keywords: Add or remove keywords to make your group more searchable.
