Clases communities combine member access, learning content, events, and
community conversations in one place.

![The current Help Center overview with search and role-based starting points.](/help/images/getting-started/help-center.png "Search for a task or choose the student or admin guide.")

## Choose the right starting point

- Use [Help for Students](/help/students) for joining, courses, lessons,
  practice, progress, events, community participation, and account settings.
- Use [Help for Admins](/help/admins) for community setup, members, courses,
  AI, safety, integrations, growth, and monetization.
- Use [Community MCP](/help/community-mcp) when connecting an approved external
  AI client to one community.

## Members

1. Sign in with the email address tied to your membership.
2. Open **My Groups** and choose the intended community.
3. Review **Community**, **Classroom**, and **Calendar** for pinned updates,
   available courses, and upcoming events.
4. Open **My Learning** to continue active work and confirm progress.
5. Use profile settings for language, notifications, privacy, security, and
   payment controls.

## Group Admins

1. Open the intended community and enter the **Creator Console**.
2. Confirm identity, language, privacy, support, membership, and pricing
   defaults before inviting people.
3. Publish at least one welcome resource or reviewed course for new members.
4. Test the member experience with the role, language, and access level that
   will actually use it.
5. Review current reports and alerts before changing access, billing, safety,
   or automated-agent settings.

## Verify before inviting people

Open the member-facing About page, community feed, Classroom, Calendar, and
help panel. Check that links resolve, draft content stays private, times use the
intended zone, and every visible image has useful alternative text. Never use a
real member record, token, private conversation, or payment detail as test
content.

## Need More Help

Use the in-app helper from the page where you need support. The helper receives
route context so it can prioritize articles and tools that match your current
workflow. Include the community, route, expected result, and non-sensitive
error text; keep credentials and private member data out of the request.
