Post content in multiple groups

This chapter explains how to enable cross-posting content in multiple groups and how to post content in multiple group. 

 

Sometimes, an event, a topic or a discussion can be relevant for more than one group in a community. To make this a quick and easy process, Site Managers can enable cross-posting content so that Site Managers and Content Managers can post content in multiple groups.
