Creating and Customizing Pages on the Community Platform

Introduction

The Community platform allows you to include a variety of different pages on the site. Pages may include a news feed, discussions, etc. The Pages feature offers a powerful tool for real-time layout editing with an intuitive interface.  

What pages will you need?

You can have an endless number of pages for your Community. As you get started, determine which pages you would like to start with (you can always add additional pages later).

Pre-Seeded Pages: These are pages that are automatically added when creating your site. They can be edited in the Pages tab in your Admin Section. If you would like any of these pre-seeded pages removed, please contact your Onboarding Coach or Customer Success Manager.
