Groups

Working with collaborators in groups

A group on Are.na is a kind of shared collaborative identity. If you find yourself working collaborating with the same people on more than one channel, chances are it's time to make a group.

Group visibility

A group's visibility is determined by the channels it owns. If all the channels owned by a group are private, the group will remain private. Once the group has a public channel, its profile is visible by anyone outside the group.

Creating a group

To create a group, open the main dropdown in the top right of the screen, scroll down to "Your Groups" and click "Create a Group". From here you can set the name and description of a group, and add members
