Overview
Turning off the discussion forum feature will preserve all categories, topics, and historical content, and prevent any interaction. This is the best approach to prevent information leakage during the hub relaunch while ensuring data can be restored later.
Solution
To manage the Discussions feature during a hub relaunch and prevent information leakage, follow these steps:
-
Deactivate the Discussion Forum:
- Navigate to the settings of your hub.
- Turn off the Discussion forum feature. This will preserve all categories, topics, and historical content.
-
Effect of Deactivation:
- Once deactivated, no members will be able to see or interact with any discussion posts.
- This ensures that no information about the relaunch is leaked to members who will lose access.
-
Reactivation:
- When ready to reactivate, simply turn the Discussion forum feature back on.
- All previous categories, topics, and historical content will be restored and accessible.
Note: This method is effective for temporarily disabling forum participation while safeguarding your discussion history for future use.
