Community settings

Visibility and access

| Setting | What it does | |---|---| | Draft | Hidden from the widget — only visible via direct link. Use while building. | | Live | Visible in the communities widget and purchasable via direct link. | | Deleted | Removed from purchase; existing members retain access to their content. | | Open | New purchases allowed. | | Closed | No new purchases; existing members keep access. |

You can use Live + Closed to show a community in your widget without allowing new purchases — useful for building waitlist interest or for programs that run in cohorts.

Enable the community forum

In the community's Settings tab, check Turn on community forum to add a discussion space. Members can post and comment. You'll need to be added as a member to reply as yourself.

Bulletin boards

Bulletin boards let you post announcements, welcome messages, and updates to community members from your dashboard.

Go to Beyond Classes → Bulletin Board to create and manage posts.

Bulletin boards appear inside the community and in the mobile app experience.

Content organization

Inside the community, organize resources into categories — Week 1, Week 2, Module 1, etc. Resources are sorted by category and ordered by creation date within each category.

Start and end dates

For time-limited communities (challenges, cohorts), set a start and end date in the community settings. Clients who purchase one-time get access only during that window.
