Photo/video

Add up to 10 photos, or one video. A video is posted on its own, without photos. You can also drag photos straight into the box.

GIF

Pick a GIF from GIPHY. This button only shows once the owner has turned GIFs on.

Choose how you feel, like happy, grateful or celebrating. It shows beside your name on the post.

Poll

Ask a question with choices members vote on. A poll can’t have photos.

For a short post with words only, press Aa and pick a coloured background. The words show big, in the middle.

Once it’s up, members can react, comment and share it. To change or remove it later, press ⋯ on the post and choose Edit post or Delete post.

Questions

Can members attach a PDF or other file to a post?

No. Posts on Home take photos and videos. To share worksheets or PDFs, add them to a lesson in the Classroom, where each lesson can have files to download.

Why can’t I pick a coloured background?

Backgrounds are for short posts with words only. They go away once a post has a photo, a video, a video link or a poll, or once the words get long.

Can I stop members from posting on Home?

Yes. In Community settings, open Who can do what and choose Only admins and moderators under Who can write posts on Home?. Members can still comment and react.

How do I change a post after it’s up?

Press ⋯ on the post and choose Edit post. Change the words, the topic or the feeling, then press Save. Photos and videos already in the post stay as they are.
