How It Works

Managing community spaces gets a lot easier with this new update: you can now convert a private channel back to a public channel anytime.
If you’ve ever locked a channel down and later needed to reopen it to everyone, you no longer have to recreate anything — just flip the setting and it’s public again instantly.

This gives you more flexibility in how you manage conversations, content access, and group visibility across both private and public spaces inside Communities.

How to Use

1. Open any private channel inside your Community.

2. Go to Settings → Settings tab.

3. Click Make Channel Public.

4. Confirm the change — the channel is now visible to all members in the community group.

You can also move posts to private channels from the same settings, giving admins and authors more control over where conversations live.

What’s New

Convert Private Channels Back to Public
A fully reversible setting — reopen access instantly without recreating the channel.

• Fixed webhook events not triggering for freshly created following members.
• Improved community hover image sizing.
• Fixed GIF bar input issues in community posts.

Why This Matters

Communities grow and shift — sometimes you need a private space, and sometimes it needs to be public again.
This update gives you the flexibility to adapt channels to match your community’s evolving needs without losing posts, data, or structure.

It also tightens up the overall experience with key bug fixes that improve reliability across notifications, images, and interactions.

Use Cases

• Launch Groups: Make a private channel public once the launch closes.
• Member Programs: Open previously private discussions to your wider audience.
• Support Communities: Move posts to private channels for moderation, then reopen them later.
• Agencies: Adjust channel access across client communities without rebuilding anything.

This update gives Community admins full control over visibility and content mobility — keeping everything flexible, clean, and easy to manage.
