In this section you can edit information that was added during the group creation (see above), like group name, description, avatar and banner. You also can:

• change Group visibility:
  • Visible everywhere on the web: the group will be publicly listed in search results and may be suggested in the explore section. Only public information will be shown on its page.
  • Only accessible through link: you'll need to share the group URL so people may access the group's profile. The group won't be findable in Mobilizon's search or by regular search engines.
• allow joining the group:
  • Anyone can join freely: anyone wanting to be a member of your group will be able to from your group page
  • Manually invite new members: the only way for your group to get new members is if an admininistrator invites them
• add Group address (location)
• manually approved new followers (followers will receive new public events and posts)
• add group address
• delete the group
