# Updates & Comms

A lot of Communities like to periodically update their Financial Contributors, to let them know what their donations are enabling, express thanks, or notify everyone of a change.

Similarly, hosts often need to contact the administrators of the Communities they are hosting.

To create an Update, go to your Dashboard, navigate to the **Updates** section and click on **Create Update**. Updates will appear in the Connect section of your public Community page and you have the option to also notify your community admins and/or contributors via email.

We offer a rich editor to write your updates! Each update requires a Title and content for the Message. You can also write and publish exclusive updates for your Contributors by changing the **Update Type** to **Restricted**.

## Contacting a Community
