## **Frequently Asked Questions**

**Q: Can I monetize my community?** 

Yes. You can charge for access by integrating paid membership plans.

**Q: What happens if I delete a community?**

Deleting a community is irreversible. All content, members, and discussions will be permanently removed.

**Q: How do I troubleshoot domain verification issues?**

Ensure your DNS records match GHL Customer Care’s requirements and wait for propagation (up to 48 hours). If issues persist, contact support.

**Q: How do I create Courses inside the Community?**

Please refer to our Course Creator's Playbook for more information.

**Q: How are reward levels determined?**

Levels are based on points earned through community participation such as posts, comments, and likes. You can also assign points through automations.  
**Q: Can I change a group from Public to Private after it’s created?  
**Yes. You can change a group’s visibility at any time by logging in to the group, navigating to Group Settings → Details, selecting Public or Private, and saving your changes.

**Q: How can I change the slug for a Community Group?**You can change a group’s slug by logging in to the group, navigating to Group Settings → Details → Discovery, editing the Slug, and saving your changes. GoKollab now treats community URLs as case-insensitive. For example, \`/Community\` and \`/community\` resolve to the same page.

GoKollab also migrated and sanitized existing community slugs for consistency. If you shared an older community URL before this change, GoKollab automatically redirects visitors to the updated URL.
