###### Customizing the community settings

Once your community is created, you can customize some of the additional settings:

- Edit the community details at any time (name, description, image, community privacy).
- Designate the leaders of the community and their role (this will also grant them access into the community dashboard).
- Input the reply-to email (under the "Settings" button next to the leaders).
- Customize the welcome email & Slack notifications for new members.
- Create a membership questionnaire.
- Connect a Slack channel to your community (members will be automatically added to the connected channel when they join the community).
