Moving communities

You can move a community to become a subcommunity of another community, or you can move a subcommunity to become a top-level community. You can also move a subcommunity from one parent community to another.

Moving communities to become subcommunities of a top-level, parent community is a good way to integrate what were diverse communities. Similarly, moving a subcommunity to make it a top-level community is a good way to promote important communities.

You must be a community owner both in the community that is being moved and in the intended parent community.

Note: You can move a community or subcommunity to a new parent of the same type only (that is, an internal or external community). For example, you can move an external restricted community or subcommunity to a new parent community that is also external restricted only. Similarly, you can move an internal community or subcommunity to a new parent that is also internal only.

Also, if you move a restricted but listed community under a community that is restricted but not listed, the moved community is no longer listed. For more information, see Creating communities.
