Step-by-step instructions:

Browsing Communities

To browse communities and see the communities you are a part of, click on the "Explore" tab at the bottom of the page and scroll down to the "Communities" section. You can swipe to view more communities or click "View all" to see all communities available to you, as well as to see all communities you are a part of.

    

Under view all, you can search for a community using the search bar, or you can browse the "Recently added" or "Everything" sections. 

To view the communities you are a part of, click the "My communities" tab. Click on a community to post to the stream and interact with others who share the same interests! 

Joining a Community

To join a community, click on one that interests you from the lists above to go to the community page. Then click "Join community". You're now a part of that community and can start posting and interacting with others who share the same interests. 

Creating a Community

 If you don't see a community that matches your interests, create a new one! 

To get started, click the "+" sign at the bottom of any page and click "Community". 

To upload a cover photo for your community, click "Upload a cover" at the top of the page and either select a photo from your phone by clicking "Choose a photo" or tap "Take a new photo" to take a new one. (Note: you may have to grant permission for Sprout to access the camera to continue). 

  

Next, give your community a name and tell us what your community is about. By default, the group will be public, however, you can make it private (which means only users who have been invited to the community will be able to view it) by toggling it to off. 

When you're done, click "Create community". You can invite others to join your community from the communities page (see below). 

Inviting Others to Join

To invite others to your community, go to the community page and click "Invite people to community". Tap the "+" sign next to the people you'd like to invite to add them to the list, and then click "Next" when you're done adding people.

    

Leaving a Community

If you decide that you're no longer interested in a community, click the "..." in the top right corner of the page and select "Leave this community". If it's a public group, you'll always be able to re-join if you change your mind.
