Team plan

What guests see (Live boards)

Open a sample to experience the board the way a visitor does. For Opt-in & acknowledgement and Contributor question, open the board and then use Add message (or your board’s equivalent)—those controls appear on the new-post form, not the wall.

Branded board

See Branded Board ↗

See your logo and background on the wall so the board feels on-brand for your organisation.

Password to view

Password Protected board ↗

Guests must enter the password before they can see the board. Try adding a message, use BRAVO as the password to unlock.

Post with Code / Invite only

Invite-Only board ↗

Anyone who can view the board still needs the posting code before they can add a message. Try adding a message, use invite code YOUROCK when prompted.

Opt-in & acknowledgement

Open, then add a message ↗

Open the board, then start a message—guests see your notice and must tick to acknowledge before they can post. Bravoboard records each acknowledgement with a timestamp.

Contributor question

Open, then add a message ↗

Same flow: open the board, then add a message—guests see your custom yes/no checkbox (your wording). Look for [] I would like to be included in future opportunities, in this example.

Embed & domain restriction

Domain restricted board ↗

The same board experience, meant to be embedded on sites you have allowlisted.

Guests never see moderation queues or approval screens—those are for board owners and team admins. Use the Screenshots — how teams govern boards row for post review settings and the pending queue.

Team plan

How teams govern boards (screenshots)

These panels are where your team set rules.

Branding & logo

Settings for uploading a logo and background so every team board matches your visual identity.

Post with Code / Invite only

Require a posting code for messages, or limit contributions to invited people only—so the wall stays readable while you control who can post.

Post review

The queue or settings where approvers accept or hold posts before they appear on the live board.

Contributor opt-in

Turn on the notice contributors must read, edit the text, and require a checkbox before posting—acknowledgements are stored with timestamps for audits and CSV export.

Contributor question

Contributors see this checkbox when they add a message. You write the label (for example self-ID or a light policy line), make it optional or required, and keep answers for admins and CSV export—not on the public wall.
