You can change your community status to active, inactive or in Draft mode. If you would like to make any changes to your community, you can change the status to draft and work on it, once done with the changes, you can make the community active. Similarly, if you wish to make any community inactive, you can change the status to Inactive.
Active: Your community will be accessible to all members. They can login and use all the options available.
Inactive: Community users won’t be able to login to the community if the status of the community is set to inactive.
Draft: In this mode, the community is neither active nor inactive. It means that the admin/moderator is still designing and in the process of making a community live.
