Configure Platform Settings


Once ReadyLaunch is enabled, your community needs rules and structure. Platform settings define how members interact, what they can post, how profiles look, whether groups are enabled, how media is shared, and what moderation tools are in place. Configuring these ensures your community runs smoothly and aligns with your goals.

Steps:


1. Go to the ReadyLaunch > Activation Settings > Platform Settings section.

2. Click the Settings button beside each feature to configure.
