Hello Square Community! 👋
The Square Community will be under construction between November 12, 2021 and November 15, 2021 as we complete our redesign.
We had two main goals with the redesign: improve the overall experience for you, and update the visuals to better match the look of other Square websites.
Let’s dive into the changes!
Ask/Help the Community
Directly above the tiles are two buttons:
- Ask the Community makes it faster for you to post a new thread.
- Help the Community makes it easier to find posts and help fellow sellers.
Discussion tabs
Directly underneath the tiles, you’ll see that we now have three tabs of posts:
- Featured Discussions are threads that we curate and feature. 📌
- Recent Discussions are new threads, or threads that most recently received a reply. 🆕
- Frequent Discussions are hot threads that are getting a lot of activity. 🔥
Content Cards
Next, you’ll see four content “cards” which highlight the following:
- Seller spotlight is where we share posts highlighting sellers like you! 🔦
- Most helpful sellers is a list of members ranked by the number of best answers written. 🏎
- Latest news is a feed of product updates from the product update blog. 🆕
- Events is a list of upcoming events such as webinars and Q&As. 👀
Related Threads and Upcoming Events
On individual thread pages, you’ll now see:
- Related threads, which automatically finds and shows threads about related topics. 🧐
- Events, which lists upcoming events like webinars and Q&As. 👀
Style Update
Lastly, you’ll notice some changes to colours, buttons, fonts, and other styling. These changes modernise the design and make for a more seamless look between the Square Community and Squareup.com.
