Here is a GitBook-ready “How to Create Posts” section with clear descriptions for each commenting permission, polished and consistent with the previous sections:
📝 Creating Posts
To share updates, announcements, or class content, you can create posts inside any feed you’ve set up.
📍 Step 1: Start a New Post
Navigate to your feed.
Select the Create Post button.
🖼️ Step 2: Add Your Content
You can add one or more of the following to your post:
Text Content — Write your announcement, instructions, reminder, or update.
Images — Upload class photos, examples, assignments, or visuals.
YouTube Video — Paste a YouTube link to embed the video directly into the post.
Documents — Upload PDFs or files.
Note: Documents cannot be previewed on mobile devices; users must download them to view.
When finished, click Next.
💬 Step 3: Set Commenting Permissions
In the Configuration tab, you can control exactly how students or guardians interact with your post.
Below are all available options:
🔘 Comments (Toggle)
Enables or disables commenting entirely.
When Off → No one can comment on the post.
When On → You can customize what level of commenting you want.
👀 Allow users to see all other users’ comments
When enabled, users can view comments made by others in the feed.
When disabled, users will only see their own comments and not anyone else’s.
Use Case:
Helps reduce student-to-student interaction when needed.
💬 Allow users to reply to another user's comment
When enabled, users can create threaded replies under another person’s comments.
When disabled, users can only leave stand-alone comments with no replies.
Use Case:
Useful when you want a contained discussion without back-and-forth threads.
📎 Allow users to upload images or documents
When enabled, users can attach photos or documents in their comments.
When disabled, comments are text-only.
Use Case:
Perfect for assignments where students need to upload evidence, classwork, or files.
