Customize Community Tabs: Reorder, Rename, Disable

TL;DR

Community owners and admins can now reorder, rename, and disable most tabs within their communities. No immediate action is required unless you manage a community and want to adjust its layout.

Who this affects

This change affects any GoHighLevel agency owner or SaaS entrepreneur who uses communities within their GoHighLevel account. Specifically, it impacts community admins and owners who manage these communities. HighLevel has not confirmed who else is affected, so others can safely ignore it.

What changed

• Community admins and owners can reorder community tabs.
• Community admins and owners can rename community tab labels.
• Community admins and owners can disable community tabs they do not need.
• Specific community tabs (Discussion, Learning, Events, Leaderboards, Members, About) can be reordered.
• Any community tab can be given a custom label.
• The Discussion and About tabs cannot be disabled.
• Custom tab names are not translated.
• Changes to tab layout are reflected immediately for all members.
• HighLevel has not confirmed any limits or plan gating for this feature.
• HighLevel has not confirmed the rollout status for this feature.

Where to find it

This feature is located within a community's settings. The specific path is Settings → Community Tabs.

How agencies will use this

An agency running a coaching program for clients within a HighLevel community might want to streamline the member experience. Previously, tabs appeared in a fixed order. Now, the agency owner, acting as a community admin, can navigate to the community settings, then to Community Tabs. They might decide to move the "Learning" tab to the very first position, renaming it to "Your Course" for clarity. If the program doesn't use leaderboards, they can disable the "Leaderboards" tab entirely to reduce clutter. These changes instantly update for all community members, providing a more tailored and intuitive interface specific to the program's needs.

Our take

This is a standard quality-of-life update. It improves the customization options for communities but is not a significant platform shift. HighLevel has not provided a reason for its significance, which aligns with its status as a minor enhancement. It's a useful tweak for those actively running communities, but it won't impact agencies not using this specific feature this week.
