Sharing Apps for Admins

What are Sharing Apps?

Sharing Apps are designed to encourage positive expression and community engagement. There multiple themes, each with either text-based or image-based submissions.

Theme options are:

• Gratitude Garden: Text-based message board.

• Friendship Garden: Text-based message board.

• Chalk the Block: Image-based, users upload images instead of text.

• Art Gallery: Image-based, users upload images instead of text.

• Fall Harvest: Image-based, users upload images instead of text.

Each theme allows users to contribute content that is reviewed and approved by admins before being displayed in the world. Text submissions are short-form messages, while image submissions allow users to upload an image file.
