Do you have guides that are related or need to be grouped together so that you can better organize the guide overview screen? Guide groups allow you to place multiple guides within a group. This way, you can present your users with a clean and well organized overview screen. You can set up a title, description and cover photo for your group. Find out how you can create, edit and delete guide groups below.
By default groups are set to only be visible to the creator of the group and users with the Manager permission. This allows Brand Guidelines managers to first create and manage the guides inside of a group before making it available to other users. There are two types of group access allowing you to restrict access to a group to specific users or make the group available to all Brand Guidelines users. Read more about group visibility here.
