Community Structure and Navigation

Although we strive to make the Community as easy to navigate as possible, you may wonder where you can find certain areas of the Community, especially if you are a legacy community user who joined the Community from the former AppSheet, Cloud Connect, or Apigee communities. This article is intended to help you find your way around.

If, after reading this article, you're still not sure where to find what you're looking for, please leave a post in the respective Community Feedback forum (Google CloudGoogle WorkspaceAppSheet) and someone from the Community will be happy to assist you.

Navigation bar

The navigation bar at the very top of the homepage and the drop-down on the top left of the homepage will help you find your way around. The four main areas that you can access from both the navigation bar and the drop-down are Google Cloud, Google Workspace, AppSheet, and CTO Connect.

When you hover over each of these four, you will see a drop-down menu that looks something like this:

Navigation for legacy community members

If you’re a legacy community user who joined the Google Cloud Community from the former AppSheet, Cloud Connect, or Apigee communities, the following sections will outline where you can find each area of the Community that you were used to.

Legacy AppSheet Community

If you’re coming over from the legacy AppSheet Community site, you can find your area of the Community here. The image below shows where you can find each area of the community that you were used to.

If you're coming from the legacy AppSheet Community site, you'll see that the tags you previously used to help categorize content no longer exist. Tags have been consolidated and simplified into a new list of labels. The image below shows how the tags you were used to are now organized into labels on the new Community site.
