GROUP SETTINGS | OVERVIEW

 

After your group has been created, you can change the group's settings from your Group Administration panel.  When you click "Settings", the Group Settings pop-up will appear. You'll notice that this looks very similar to the window that is presented when you first start a group. However, there are some additional options in the "Appearance" tab that you can control now that your group has been created.
