How to Create a Section

Sections can be created inside a space or a subspace to organize discussions, events, resources, and other activities.

To create a new section:

  1. Navigate to the space or subspace where you want to add the section.

  2. Click New section in the top-right corner of the page.

  3. The Create section window will open.


Configure Your Section

Complete the following fields in the creation window.

Section Icon (Emoji)

You can choose an emoji to visually represent the section.

This icon will appear in the navigation menu and helps members quickly identify the section.

Examples:

💬 Discussions

📣 Community Updates

💡 Ideas

🤝 Introductions


Section Name

Enter the name of the section.

Choose a clear and descriptive name that reflects the type of activity happening in that section.

Examples:

  • Introductions

  • Weekly Discussions

  • Founder Updates

  • Product Feedback

Avoid vague names like General or Random.


Description

Add a short description explaining what the section is for.

This helps members understand:

  • what kind of content belongs here

  • who should participate

  • how the section is used

Descriptions are especially helpful when multiple sections exist in the same subspace.


Subspace

Select the subspace where the section will be created.

Sections always belong to a specific subspace, which helps organize your community structure.

If you have multiple subspaces, make sure the section is added to the most relevant one.


Access Type

Choose how members can access the section.

Open

Anyone in the subspace can see and join the section.

Private

The section is visible but members must be invited to participate.

Secret

Only invited members can see the section.

This setting is useful when creating private discussions, leadership groups, or working teams.


Create the Section

After filling in the required information:

  1. Review the section settings.

  2. Click Create section.

The section will immediately appear in the navigation menu under the selected subspace.

Members will then be able to start posting, sharing resources, or participating depending on the section type.


💡 Tip

When launching a new community, start with a small number of clear sections.

Most communities work best with 4–6 sections initially, expanding as engagement grows.


Best Practices

Use clear section names that communicate the purpose.

Instead of:

❌ General

❌ Random

Use:

✔ Founder Introductions

✔ Weekly Discussions

✔ Investor Opportunities

✔ Product Feedback

Clear structure increases participation.


💡 Tip

Start with 4–6 sections.

Too many sections early on can make a new community feel empty.

As engagement grows, you can add more specialized sections.
