Groups: Choose a Post Layout

Choose Posts, List, or Cards to match the purpose of your group.

Choose how posts appear in a group with three layouts: Posts, List, and Cards. Use a familiar social feed, a compact discussion list, or a visual resource library to match the purpose of your group.

Configure the layout in Control Center on web. The selected layout is used in the web, iOS, and Android member applications.

Common uses

Posts

The original waterfall-style feed of post cards.

Social updates and ongoing community conversations.

List

A simplified, forum-style list of posts.

Discussion topics and company updates.

Cards

An organized visual display showing artwork and titles.

Resource libraries, video collections, and ordered learning content.

Cards requires artwork and a title for the content. The post description is not displayed in this layout. Video cards include a play button.

Layout and post order serve different purposes: layout changes the presentation; ordering determines the sequence of the content.

Change an existing group's layout

  1. In Control Center, open Groups.

  2. Select the group you want to change.

  3. Choose Edit Group and open Settings.

  4. Find the post layout setting and choose Posts, List, or Cards.

  5. Select Save Changes.

  6. Open the group in the member application to review the result.

On web, refresh the group if you still see the previous layout. On mobile, leave the group and open it again.

You can also select a layout when creating a new group and change it later.

Build a resource library

For a visual resource library, choose Cards, give each resource a clear title and artwork (5:3 aspect ratio, example: 1,000px X 600px), and arrange the posts in the sequence you want members to follow. To keep new resources limited to admins, turn off Allow Posting while keeping the Posts menu item visible.

An ordered set of learning posts can be presented this way. Choosing Cards does not itself schedule or release course content.

Troubleshooting

I cannot find the group's "Posts" content. Check Edit Group → Menu Items to confirm that the Posts menu item is visible. Its tab may have been renamed, for example to "Resources" or "Updates".

Members still see the old layout. Confirm you saved the setting for the correct group, then refresh on web or reopen the group on mobile.

Descriptions are missing from Cards. This is expected: Cards display artwork and titles rather than post descriptions.
