Arranging Home and Team Hub

Using the layout editor

1. Pick Home or Team Hub at the top.
2. Drag a section by its handle (⋮⋮) to move it up or down.
3. Use a section's switch to show or hide it. On Home, Recognition suggestions and Your teammates have a menu instead of a switch: choose Main column, Side column or Off (see Sections that can change column below).
4. Check the Preview on the right. Switch between Phone and Desktop to see both layouts. On a wide screen the preview stays beside the section list as you scroll, and once you've made a change an Unsaved changes · Save layout bar appears under it.
5. Click Save layout. Members see the new layout right away.

Your changes aren't live until you save them. Reset to default puts every section back in its original order and default on/off state. You still need to click Save layout afterwards. Reset to default and the ready-made layouts don't change your River Runs page style.

Ready-made layouts

To skip the dragging, start from a ready-made layout at the top of the page. Each one sets up both Home and Team Hub:

Click Use this on a layout, review it in the editor and preview (you can still adjust it), then click Save layout. The layout that matches your current setup is marked Current.

Basics only is different from Essentials mode (in Settings > Features). Basics only trims Home and Team Hub, but every feature stays in the menu. Essentials mode also hides whole features, such as River Runs, Rankings and Wellspring.

Season layouts

You can switch members to a ready-made layout for the length of a season — for example, Learning-focused during a learning challenge. Under Season layouts, pick a layout next to a current or upcoming season. It's saved right away.

• The season's layout applies only while the season is active and running (between its start and end dates).
• When the season ends, members go back to your own layout. You don't need to change anything.
• To stop using a season layout, pick Your layout next to that season.
• While a season layout is active, a banner at the top of the Layout page says which layout members are seeing and until when. You can still edit your own layout; members see it once the season ends.

Columns

Each page has two columns:

• Main column — shown on every device.
• Side column — shown on desktop and tablet. Phones don't have a side column, with two exceptions:
  • On Home, the Season, Events, Team charities and Celebrations cards show on phones in a swipeable Today strip right under My Drops, in the order you set for the side column. Switching one off here removes it from the strip too. (Your teammates and Suggest to give stay desktop and tablet only; the recognition suggestions cover them on phones.) The phone preview shows the strip.
  • Team Hub's Events section moves to the bottom of the main column.
  • Home's Recognition suggestions, if you put it in the side column, shows at the bottom of the main column on phones (above the feed).

Sections that always show

Some sections are pinned. They're marked with a lock and Always shown, and you can't move or hide them:

Both pages also share the team banner across the top, above both columns. On Team Hub nothing is pinned: the Welcome card is an ordinary section there (see below).

These keep the basics in the same place for everyone: how many drops members have, where to give recognition, and where to redeem.

Sections you can arrange

My goals this season shows only while a Performance season runs with its Goals on Home switch on (see Season Management); the rest of the time it stays hidden wherever you put it. Team goal (Team Hub) works the same way with the Team goals switch.

Suggest to give starts switched off on both pages — the recognition suggestions in Home's main column already cover it. Switch it on here if you want it in the side column. Events & surveys is the row of tiles on Team Hub for current events and open surveys; it hides itself when there's nothing current.

The side column (sidebar) is arranged like the main column: drag its cards by the handle to reorder them, and use the switches to hide them. On Team Hub, About our team is the first card by default, then Season and Events; every ready-made layout keeps About first there too. A layout you saved before October 2026 keeps your saved order (Season first) — drag About our team to the top, or click Reset to default and Save layout, to get the new default. Every side-column card uses the same heading style (icon, title, and at most one action), whatever order you choose.

Team Hub leads with your team: its groups, events and members come first, and the Welcome card starts switched off there, so Team Hub doesn't repeat Home. Switch it on (and drag it where you want it) if your members miss it; on phones it then shows as the compact welcome strip at the top. If you saved a Team Hub layout before this change, your order is kept and the Welcome card is simply off.

Sections that can change column

Two Home sections can go in either column: Recognition suggestions (the "Recognize your team" / "Spread the flow" card) and Your teammates. Each has a menu with three choices:

• Main column — shows it in the main column, at the bottom of the arranged sections. Drag it from there.
• Side column — shows it in the side column, at the bottom. Drag it from there.
• Off — hides it. It stays in its current column, ready to switch back on.

By default, Recognition suggestions is in the main column and Your teammates is in the side column. Both cards use the same Recognize button, wherever you put them.

On phones (no side column): Recognition suggestions always shows in the main column — in the side column it moves to the bottom of the main column. Your teammates shows on phones only when it's in the main column.

River Runs page style

You can choose how the top of your members' River Runs page looks: the banner and the four stat cards under it (River Runs streak, Runs completed, Drops earned and Minutes of streams left). Each style keeps its own stat cards. Under River Runs page style on the Layout page:

1. Click a style. Each option shows a small live preview of its banner and stat cards.
2. Check the larger Preview under the options. Switch between Phone and Desktop to see both. The preview uses a sample run and sample numbers; members see their own name, next run and stats.
3. Click Save page style. Members see the new style the next time they open River Runs. Cancel goes back to the saved style.

The style you're using now is marked Current, and A · River journey is marked Default. Teams that never picked a style get River journey. The Next up run is the same in every style: the member's unfinished required run that's due soonest (marked with its Required chip, and still listed in Required for you), otherwise the run they joined most recently. With nothing left to finish, the banner offers Browse runs instead.

The style applies to everyone in your team, on phones, tablets and desktop, in light and dark mode. Season layouts don't change it. If River Runs is off in Settings > Features, you can still pick a style; members see it once River Runs is back on.

Reactions

You can choose which reactions your members can add to posts and announcements, and in what order. Under Reactions on the Layout page:

• Your set shows as a grid, five per row, in the order members see it. A team that hasn't changed anything gets the ten defaults: Love, Fire, Adore, Angel, Applause, Like, Haha, Celebrate, Thanks and Insightful.
• Reorder: drag a reaction to another spot (on a phone or tablet, press and hold it first). You can also tap it and use Move earlier or Move later.
• Swap: tap a reaction and pick another one under Swap for another reaction. The library has 40 reactions; the ones already in your set are dimmed.
• Rename: tap a reaction and type a Label (up to 24 characters), for example "Kudos" instead of "Applause". Leave it empty to use the default name, which members see in their own language. A renamed reaction shows a small pencil in the grid.
• Add or remove: click Add reaction to add one from the library, or tap a reaction and click Remove from set. A set holds 3 to 10 reactions. With six or more, members' picker shows two rows.
• Preview: the picker on the right (below on a phone) is exactly what members see. Hover a reaction, or press and hold on a phone, to see its name.

Click Save reactions. Members get the new set the next time their app loads your team. Cancel goes back to the saved set, and Reset to defaults puts the ten default reactions back (you still need to save). If the set can't be saved, the message says why, for example when it has fewer than 3 reactions.

Reactions you remove stay on posts and announcements that already have them — members can still see them there — they just can't be picked any more.

If you don't see Reactions on the Layout page, company reaction sets aren't available for your team yet; members have the original five reactions.

The bottom bar

Members get a bottom bar on phones — in the iOS and Android apps and in a phone's web browser. You choose what's in it under Bottom bar on the Layout page:

1. Under Tabs in the bar, drag a tab by its handle (⋮⋮) to change the order. The first tab is on the left.
2. Click × to remove a tab. The bar needs at least 3 tabs.
3. Under Add a tab, click a page to add it to the end of the bar. The bar holds up to 5 tabs.
4. Check What members see — a preview of the bar with your current feature switches.
5. Click Save bottom bar. Reset to default goes back to the default bar (you still need to save).

The default bar is Home, Team Hub, River Runs, Drop Shop and My River. You can also add Wellspring, River Rankings (shown as Rankings) and Charity Channel (shown as Charities). There's no separate "Give" tab: members give recognition from the My Drops card at the top of Home. Pages that aren't in the bar stay in the menu (☰) at the top of the screen.

The bar follows your feature switches: a tab whose feature is off in Settings > Features (or hidden by Essentials mode) is marked Hidden from members and left out of the bar. If that leaves fewer than 3 tabs, members' bars are filled back up from the default tabs, and the preview shows the result. Charity Channel appears only for members who have picked a charity. Season layouts don't change the bottom bar.

The team banner

The banner at the top of Home and Team Hub is your team's cover image. To change it, click the pencil in the banner's top-right corner on Home or Team Hub (admins only — hover it for Edit team banner), or the pencil on the cover image in Settings > Team Details. Either way, the same Edit team banner window opens (on a phone it slides up from the bottom):

• Image — click Upload new to pick a JPG or PNG (up to 5 MB) and crop it, or click one of your team's 5 most recent banners. The one members see now is marked Current; a just-uploaded image is marked New. Scroll the row sideways on a phone.
• Reposition — drag the preview, or use the Vertical position and Zoom sliders. The previews show how the banner will look on a desktop and on a phone. Reset goes back to the full image, centred. Your uploaded image itself isn't changed, so you can re-frame it any time.

Click Save. Because the banner is the same for everyone, you're asked to confirm: Confirm team banner — "Changing the team banner affects ALL members of your team. Are you sure?" Click Yes, update banner to apply it (the banner updates on Home and Team Hub right away), or Cancel to go back without changing anything. Banner changes are recorded in the audit log.

To show or hide your team logo in the banner's top-left corner, use Settings > Features > Team logo on the banner.

How this works with Features and Essentials mode

The layout and your feature switches work together. A section shows only if it's switched on in the layout and its feature is on.

• If a feature is off in Settings > Features, its section is marked Turned off in Features in the layout editor, and the preview leaves it out. You can still move it, and it reappears in that spot when you turn the feature back on.
• While Essentials mode is on, most sections are marked Hidden in Essentials mode. You can still arrange the layout, and members will see it when you turn Essentials mode off.

Some sections also hide themselves when they have nothing to show — for example, Events when there are no upcoming events, or Team charities when the Charity Channel is off.

Who can change the layout

The Layout tab is available to admins whose role includes the Admin Settings permission. See Role-Based Permissions.
