Groups
A group is a shared space you join by its tags — and its name is built from the address of whoever made it plus those tags.
This one catches people out, so it is worth seeing before you go looking. A group is not called Michigan Product Leaders. It is called something like kai-chen#product#michigan#leaders — the creator's username, then each of its tags, joined by #. That is why you search for groups by tag rather than by name. Groups sit in the Professional Groups section of your page, next to your connections.
How to
- Find a group and join itYou want to be part of a shared space — a team, a professional association, a community in your field.
- Leave a groupYou have joined something you no longer want on your page.
What it can do
- Search for groups by their tags
- See how many members a group has, its tags and its description before joining
- Join a public group instantly
- Ask to join a semi-private group, and see that your request is waiting
- Leave a group you have joined
- As an owner or moderator, drag a folder from your computer onto one of the group's resources or folders, and it arrives as a folder with its files inside
Worth knowing
⚠️ Request sent is not membership. On a semi-private group nothing else happens until the group lets you in — there is no Leave button to press, because there is nothing yet to leave.
Who can see it
Groups carry their own setting, shown as a badge on each one in the list: Public anyone can join on the spot, Semi-Private you must be let in. Your own Professional Groups section is always private — only you see the list of groups you are in. See Who can see what and The sections of your page.
