Groups are areas within a Workspace that allow you to separate content by subject matter or audience. Visualize the Workspace as an office building and a Group as a conference room. Although all of your company has access to the building, the conference rooms are designated for specific use cases. Groups generally come in two types.
- Public for all users to find and join.
- Private for specific audiences.
This article covers how you can create and edit Groups.
🔹 This is available on all plans.
🔸 Admin may disable this feature. Please check with your program Admin if this is unavailable.
