description: An org-wide Q&A forum where students and instructors can ask questions, share answers, and discuss topics across all courses.
---

**Community** is an org-wide Q&A forum. Anyone in your organization can post a question, answer others, or leave comments. Questions can be tied to a specific course or posted for the whole organization to see.

For step-by-step tasks, see [Use the Community Forum](/integrations/use-the-community-forum).

## How it works

- Anyone in the org (students, tutors, and admins) can ask a question and participate in discussions.
- When asking, you can optionally link the question to a course so students in that course can find it easily.
- Other members can answer and comment on each thread.
- You can search for questions using **Find Question**.

:::info[Community vs course Newsfeed]
Community is org-wide and searchable across all courses. The **Newsfeed** tab inside each course is a course-scoped activity feed for announcements and updates — it is not a Q&A forum.
