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.
