Before You Begin

Meeting agendas provide structure for discussions and help participants prepare for upcoming meetings. Agendas can be created, edited, and customized by admins, meeting creators, and meeting collaborators. Members and observers without collaborator permissions can only view agendas after meeting materials are published.

Agendas can be built on the web or desktop app, but not on the mobile app. They support text formatting, hyperlinks, and file attachments, but do not allow custom headers, footers, or margin adjustments.

You can build a new agenda in three ways:

  • Start from scratch

  • Use an agenda template

  • Copy the agenda from a previous meeting in the same series
