Note: For now, this feature needs to be activated before it can be seen. Platform managers can go to Core, Settings, and then Activate new features. From the Feature preview tab, select the New browse groups user experience option and enable it.

Browse Groups allows you to see and interact with all associated groups and classes from one location. You can get here through various ways including from the View Other Classes link from the Faculty Persona. In addition, use Find More from the Groups drop down through the Parent, Friend, and Alum personas as well.

When the page loads, your associated active class and group tiles appear. Each tile displays information like the assigned group owner, the school level it is associated with, and a location if one has been entered. Select the group name in a tile to be taken to its specific page or View Description to read additional details.

Use the new filter options to refine which class and group tiles appear, or the search bar can be used to find something specific.
