# Community settings (https://docs.xraise.ai/community/community-settings)



The community **Settings** screen holds the basics that your members see: the name, the visibility, the branding and the landing page text.

## Who sees this screen and how to get to it [#who-sees-this-screen-and-how-to-get-to-it]

* Partner organizations that run a community.
* On the community overview (your **Dashboard**), click **Community settings**. The address is /partner/community/(community id)/settings. There is no menu item for it.
* **Owners** and **Admins** can save changes. A **Member (read-only)** sees "You have read-only access. A partner owner or admin can update settings." and the fields are greyed out.

This screen is not the partner [Settings](./settings.mdx) item in the left menu. That one holds your partner organization and your team.

| **Visibility**       | Yes      | **Public** or **Invite only**.                                                             | Decides how founders join. See below.                                           |

| **Accent color**     | No       | A # and six hex digits, for example #FF7A00.                                               | The community branding.                                                         |

To clear an optional value, empty the field and save.

Under each color field, the hint "Format: # and six hex digits, for example #1A73E8." tells you the format. If you type a color in another format, for example a color name or a short code like #FFF, the hint changes to the red message "Enter the color as # and six hex digits, for example #1A73E8." and **Save changes** does not send the form. Correct the color, then save again.

## Visibility [#visibility]

| Choice          | How founders join                                                                               | Invitations                                                      |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Public**      | Anyone signed in to XRaise can join from the landing page.                                      | Not needed. You cannot create new invitation links.              |
| **Invite only** | Founders join with an invitation link. The landing page shows your branding but no way to join. | You create links on the [Invitations](./invitations.mdx) screen. |

When you change a public community to invite only, existing members stay. Old invitation links that are still active start to control entry again.

## Things you cannot change here [#things-you-cannot-change-here]

* The community address, /community/(slug). XRaise sets it.
* The status (**Active**, **Draft** or **Archived**). XRaise sets it. The landing page shows only when the community is **Active**.

## How to change the branding [#how-to-change-the-branding]

1. On your **Dashboard**, click **Community settings**.
2. Click **Upload logo** and pick an image. Or paste a link under "Or paste a link to a logo you already host". Wait until "Uploading logo…" ends.
3. Type the **Primary color** and the **Accent color** as hex colors.
4. Type the **Landing headline** and the **Landing summary**.
5. Optional: paste a **Hero image URL**.
6. Click **Save changes**.
7. Click **Open landing page** in the community bar to check the result.

The button shows "Saving…" while it saves. When the save works, the message "Community updated" shows. If XRaise refuses a value, an error shows under the form.

## Common questions [#common-questions]

**Why is Save changes greyed out?**
You have read-only access, or a logo is still uploading.

**Why does my landing page not open?**
The landing page shows only when XRaise has set the community to **Active**.
