Q. How can I join a Workgroup?

A. To join a Workgroup, first find one you are interested in by navigating around the pages in the Workgroup tab at the top of every Community Network page, or by using the search function's All Workgroups option. Once you are on the home page of an open Workgroup you will see a link on the top right of the Workgroup information, with a small blue arrow next to it, reading Join this Workgroup. Click this link and you will be taken to a page that says Join This Workgroup. You will be asked to select an email address to use (especially handy if you use more than one email address on the Community Network (see Can I use more than one email address on the Community Network?). Click the Submit button to join the Workgroup, or Cancel if you've changed your mind. (You can also simply move on to another page and not join.)

See Can I request to join a closed Workgroup? for information on joining an invitation-only Workgroup.

The only Workgroups you cannot join are the "General" Workgroups, which are automatically assigned.

Later, if you wish to modify your settings on any Workgroup, you can use the Email Settings link at the very top of any Community Network page (see Email Settings).
