Moderate your Community

Once you’ve set up your Community, there are additional features to help you and your moderators manage it. You can control who posts in your Community and hold posts for review before they’re published. If you’ve set up blocked words or links for comments, those same words and links will be blocked for posts in your Community. If at any point you don’t want your Community to be visible anymore, you can turn it off.
