Customize Navigation Tabs in Community Groups

About Custom Navigation Tabs

As a group administrator, you can customize which navigation tabs appear to members within your Community Groups. This allows you to create focused spaces tailored to specific purposes—such as discussion-only forums, learning hubs, or event-centered communities—by showing only the relevant sections.

Two tabs, Discussion and About, are always visible to ensure basic community functionality and discoverability. All other supported tabs can be enabled or disabled on a per-group basis.
