Managing Channels

Channel management covers creating new channels, updating their settings, controlling who has access, and removing channels you no longer need.

Creating a Channel

1. Go to Inbox → Discussions.
2. Click + Create → select Discussion.
3. Fill in the channel details:

Field	Description
Name	A clear, descriptive name (e.g. “Science Q&A”, “Week 3 Assignment Help”)
Icon	Optional — upload an image to represent the channel
Visibility	Public (whole class) or Private (invited members only)

4. Click Save — the channel is created immediately.

Editing a Channel

1. Open the channel from the Discussions list.
2. Go to the Overview tab within the channel detail view.
3. Update the name, icon, or visibility.
4. Save changes.

Deleting a Channel

1. Open the channel.
2. Go to the Overview tab.
3. Click Delete.
4. Confirm the deletion.

Caution

Deleting a channel permanently removes it and all its posts, comments, and replies. This cannot be undone. Students will immediately lose access to the channel and its content.

Managing Access (Private Channels)

For private channels, you control exactly who can see and participate.

Adding Members

1. Open the channel.
2. Go to the Access tab.
3. Click Add Member.
4. Search for the student by name.
5. Select them — they are added immediately and can now see the channel in their Campus Inbox.

Removing Members

1. Open the channel’s Access tab.
2. Find the member in the list.
3. Click the toggle to change the access.
4. They are removed and immediately lose access.

Note

Removing a member from a channel does not delete their past posts or comments — those remain visible to remaining members. Only future access is revoked.

Channel Overview Tab

The Overview tab within a channel shows:
