Content Locks

Block specific types of content with simple toggles. Keep your group focused by restricting links, media, and other content types.

Overview

Content locks allow you to restrict what members can post in your group. When a lock is enabled, any message containing that content type is automatically deleted.

Admins and whitelisted users are exempt from content locks.
