Is there a way to keep content organized in Faithlife groups?
I have a question about Faithlife groups. While people can post things to groups, it seems like after awhile that posts would become disorganized and basically unsearchable.
Is there a way to tag posts as different topics?
I was looking around but it doesn't seem like there is. Is there any way to practically keep things organized?

If you put a "#hashtag" in a Faithlife post, that will be automatically converted into a search (in Faithlife posts) for that tag. Note that the search does ignore the leading "#" and will just search for the following word (e.g., "hashtag").
If you type a word into the search box at the top, an item will appear "Search posts for XYZ" that allows you to search for that text. If you start from within a particular group (i.e., https://faithlife.com/my-group-here/activity) then it will search for that text just within your group.

Thank you for the post. I am afraid I still don't understand though. I just went into the group and did a test post of "organize."
However, even though I was in the group activity, if I went to the very top and searched for the word, it did not find material in the group, but rather material on the forum and even other groups. There does not appear to be another search option within the group itself.

Does it go to https://faithlife.com/?search=organize (search across all groups) or https://faithlife.com/logos-wiki-editors/activity?search=test (search within just one group; obviously replace the group token with your own one)?
If you're starting within your group, the "search" textbox should generate a link to the latter.

As I posted previously, the Faithlife Groups platform is not under active development. If it meets your needs, that's great, but any bugs or limitations in it are unlikely to be fixed. Also, it shouldn't be thought of as a full-featured forum replacement. (Also, as you've found, all the training material has been taken offline.)

Thank you for your comments. Regarding the first with the links, actually neither link work. I can see in the url it seems like it should, but it nonetheless doesn't find the searched word. The second link doesn't either. That stated, I think it is ok since the two subgroups within my group seems to be working well for our needs.
Regarding your most recent comment concerning the limitations to groups, thank you for letting me know, but the groups are ok and it is actually meeting our needs pretty well. We sort of suddenly needed to find a place to be, so I am extremely grateful to have discovered the group function. Thank you again for the clarification.0
