About This Feature

FAQs
Q: Who can see what Block?
A: All members will be able to see the blocks you add, however members will only see objects within the block that they have access to. For example, all members will see the feed block, but the only posts members will see are ones that were posted within a feed they have access to. Similarly, all members would see the Events block, but members would only see the events they have access to within the block.
