# Community Layout

{% embed url="<https://www.loom.com/share/0d8cb06c307044658bfa932f9c1bdf5b>" %}

All Common communities come with the same standard layout. The different aspects of the forum layout are as follows:

### Header

At the top of every Common community is a **Header.**

The header includes the project name, the dropdown menu for admins & moderators, new threads/proposals button, a search bar, notifications access, and buttons to manage your profile.

### **Side Navigation**

On the left side of all Common communities is the **side navigation.**

This is where users can access topics, the discussions page directly, a list of all forum members, access snapshot & on-chain governance (if setup), toggle notifications, relevant project links, and connect to chain.

### Forum

The heart of every Common community is the **forum.**

Here users can access pinned posts, different forum views, filter for different topics and stages based on the governance process, and interact with Reddit-like threaded discussions.
