How to use GroupNews: a Quickstart guide

Group

Your Group is the umbrella for the entire organization. Give it a name that represents everyone, because it serves as the central hub for all internal news and updates.

Channels

Channels break the Group into logical sub-areas—think departments, committees, or project teams. They help members find the information that matters most to them. Learn more about Channels.

Stories, Events, and Deadlines

These are the posts that power GroupNews. Authorized members can publish immediately or schedule them for later, ensuring timely announcements, event details, and important due dates.

Discussions

Every post includes a built-in discussion thread. Team members can comment, start reply chains, upload files, and tag colleagues, fostering rich, context-specific conversations without endless email chains.

Owner

Each Group has one Owner—the top-level administrator. The Owner can invite members, assign admin rights, and adjust global settings.

Administrators

Administrators are regular members granted extra privileges. They can create or edit Channels, invite new members, and manage most Group settings, keeping the workspace organized and up-to-date.

GroupNews

Break down silos and gain clarity with GroupNews, the incredibly simple intranet. GroupNews gives you the tools to publish and discuss everything happening in your organization, all in one place.
