Enable and Create Community in Salesforce Lightning | Getting start with Communities

In this blog you will learn how you can enable and create a new community.

Please follow below steps : 

• Click Settings icon and select Setup.
• Type Communities in the Quick Find box, then select Communities Settings.
• Select Enable communities.
• Enter a unique name to be used as your domain name and click Check Availability. 
• Keep in mind that you can’t change the domain name yourself after you save it. You have to call Salesforce to change it.
• Click Save, and then click OK.
• If you see a dialog asking to open a Salesforce page in a new tab, click Open.

High-five, trailblazer! You’ve just created your custom domain.

Set Up a Basic Community

Now let’s set up a basic community. You should have been redirected to the All Communities page in Setup, but if not, enter Communities in Quick Find, and select All Communities.

• Click New Community.
• Select the template.
• Click Get Started.
• Enter a community name and URL. 
• Name the community <your first name and last name>.
• Specify the optional URL. The URL should look something like this: https://[your name]-developer-edition.na111.force.com/xxxxxx.
• It’s important that you specify a URL, even though this field says optional. This enables you to share your public URL with others.
• Click Create.
• Your community has been created in Preview status, which means that what you have created isn’t in the world yet.
