1. Overview
Cross-Board Posting lets community members start a post from the homepage, any category page, or any group hub page - without first navigating to the right board. A “Create Post” button opens a board picker. The member selects their destination and the standard board-specific editor opens with all board rules applied.

The picker loads boards progressively. Click “Show More” to see additional boards.

2. Accessing Cross-Board Posting settings
Navigate to: Admin Panel → Settings → Features → Cross-Board Posting.
The settings page has two toggles:
