Create and manage channels

Channels organize pages for the whole community. Only community admins can create, edit, or delete channels and add channel description sections.

Create a channel

Use either available entry point:

• In the main navigation, select Add channel.
• Select Manage, then Channels & Pages, then Channels. Select Add channel.

In the New channel dialog:

1. Enter a Channel name.
2. Select OK.

The community plan determines how many channels can be created. If the limit has been reached, coapp shows the available upgrade option.

Rename a channel or control who can add pages

From the administration area:

1. Select Manage.
2. Select Channels & Pages, then Channels.
3. Open the three-dot menu beside the channel and select Edit.
4. Under Who can add pages to this channel, select Everyone or Admins.
5. Change the Channel name if needed.
6. Select Save.

You can also open the channel and select the gear button beside Create. Change Name and Who can add pages to this channel, then select Save.

Choosing Admins removes the page creation action for other members in this channel. It does not change who can view pages that are already available.

Add a channel introduction

Channel content sections introduce the channel before its page list.

1. Open the channel from the main navigation.
2. Select Add Section.
3. Select Text Section, Image Section, Video Section, Podcast / Audio Section, or Code Section.
4. Add the content and save it.
5. Use the section controls to edit, reorder, add, or delete sections.

Delete a channel

Deleting a channel cannot be undone. Move every page in the channel to another channel first:

1. Open each page and select the pencil button.
2. Choose another Channel and select Save.
3. Select Manage, then Channels & Pages, then Channels.
4. Open the three-dot menu beside the channel and select Delete.
5. Review the warning and confirm.

If you delete the last channel, no one can create pages until an admin creates a new channel.
