This feature lets you set the default landing page for your community. You can customize the experience for different types of users by setting default landing pages.
Types of Users and Default Pages
1. Logged-in Members
Existing Members: You can choose what page they land on when they return. For example, you might direct them to a Feed tab where they see community updates.
New Members: You can set a different first page for brand-new members to welcome them or guide them with helpful content.
2. Logged-in Non-Members
These are people who are logged in but not yet part of your community. You can also choose a default page for them, such as one that encourages them to join or explore.
3. Logged-out Visitors
These are people who are not logged in. You can choose a specific landing page for them, such as a membership or sales page, to inform or invite them to sign up.
Use this to turn your community into a website, such as a membership website, where visitors can learn about your group and join easily.
