Posts (Overview)

Posts are the way users write, interact, and share content on MyCivicsLife. When you select Posts from the My Stuff (indicated by the backpack icon) drop-down menu at the top of MyCivicsLife, you will see all of your posts to your Communities and to the Main Stream. 


Posts can be edited at any time by the original poster or the teacher who has moderation power over it. Student-made edits must be moderated and approved before a post will reflect the changes, and all posts to the Main Stream must be moderated before they go live. 


For more information on Community and student moderation controls, see the Understanding & Adjusting Moderation Settings article.
