Exporting on Groups.io
I was looking at the admin in a group I own and I wondered about exporting the wiki. Looks easy to do, but does it remove it from Groups.io or simply copy it in json or other format? The instructions don't say. Is it the same behaviour for all types of data?
?
The Help isn't clear. /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/exporting-or-downloading-your-group-s-data?single=true
Googling didn't help since its meaning seems to vary.?

Too much space and everything is double-spaced. The crucial info is below the fold - they have to scroll to down twice (with a track pad) to the email addresses, group information and group settings. I am a bit surprised with Group Settings for your group: ?
?All members can post to the group.
?Posts to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
?Posts from new users require approval from the moderators.
?Messages are set to reply to sender.
?Subscriptions to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
?Archive is visible to members only.
?Wiki is visible to members only.
?Only moderators can create hashtags.
?Members cannot edit their messages.
?Members can set their subscriptions to no email.

Re: question regarding help section and link for people to join
Why not invite them using the Invite mechanism?
It works smoothly. You can track the request. Resend it if necessary. About inviting people to join your group:
Here's the Help page for using Invite.
?
Take the time to edit your Invite Notice (in Admin, Settings, Notices) and use your toolbar to highlight your own content to personalize it. Save it for future use and activate it. Note that you can't remove what is there (the boilerplate) which is required at least in some jurisdictions. But by spaces, formats, bolding and italics, colour, you can get a pretty good invitation.
?
Then use Invite in your Admin menu.?
The GMF wiki has information about it too: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/12630 Frances ?

Re: question regarding help section and link for people to join
Follow up question for link to join group.? I know how to add members directly. I also understand that if they send an e-mail to the group similar to this:? ?[email protected]?(and replace groupManagersForum with the name of my group) they can join that way.?
But if I want to send a link for someone to join my group, what link would that be if my group is called PeachheadNanny?? In other words, if I send an e-mail saying:? To join PeachheadNanny you can send an e-mail to [email protected]?or you can go to this website and join the group there......what website would I use?? Would it be??/g/PeachheadNanny/topics?or another link?? My group is a premium enterprise group so when I click on home it goes to a page that I have created and I don't think I have the correct information there which is my issue.? this is my home page:???and people have said it is confusing on how to join my group so I am trying to simplify it as well as have a simple website address to send people to join this group as well as my subgroups.

Couldn't you create your poll in Survey Monkey and make a link to it?

The only option is to create as many separate polls.That's the way to do it.? Right now, you'd have to have one big, multi-part question and have answers for every possible combination of answers.? Keeping track of multiple questions, each with multiple answers, could get very complicated, very quickly.? I don't know if that's something Mark would consider, but it can't hurt to ask.

Re: reduce storage size
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIdeally I would like to keep all the attachments but reduce their size. Is a there a way to do this in bulk? Is there even a way of doing it manually while keeping attachments attached to their relevant post? No to either, you can only delete them.? Now if you have a legacy group with Files, you could upload the smaller replacement image there and edit the original message, delete the large attachment, and add a link to the smaller image on Files.? If not, you could recreate the message with the smaller attachment and send it in, then delete the original attachment but leave the original message and link to it, but it would look like you sent the message, I guess you could put some text in the replacement message to indicate it's a repost and link to the original message, a bit messy. Either of these options has to be done one message at a time. Cheers, Christos |

If you have a copy of the message forwarded to you, it should include all the headers.? That's where I'd start, trying to figure out who actually sent it.?
