Creating a Group

Groups are intended to bring people together to collaborate on books that share a common theme or interest. Click on Groups in the menu to see a list of existing groups and their descriptions.

If the group you want to join isn't there, you can start a group of your very own (see the chapter "Joining a Group" if you wish to join an existing group).

1. Go to your Dashboard. Once the page loads you will see the CREATE NEW GROUP button. Click on this.
   
2. A dialog box will appear. In the Group name box, type in a name for your group and then type in a brief description in the Description box.
   
   
   
   
3. Finally, click on the Create button at the bottom of the dialog. Your new group will be added to the list on your My Groups page and it will appear in the list of Groups visible to everyone. Click on its name or the GO button to take you to the group page.
