Few things are as intimidating as using a new piece of software for the first time. We get it. Even with a tool as intuitive as Thoughtexchange, it can be hard to appreciate what you can do the first time you see it. To make things a little easier, we’ve introduced Exchange Gallery.

With the Exchange Gallery, you can pick a topic and create an exchange with the click of a button. It will also offer a wide range of resources right at your fingertips, including exchange templates, video tutorials, and help articles. Even if you’re a Thoughtexchange pro, you may get inspired by the varied exchange topics you could run with your organization.

When you create an exchange using the Exchange Gallery it automatically appears in the Active tab of your Thoughtexchange room. This allows you as a leader to quickly generate and share an invitation link with your participants. Since this feature is still in beta testing, you are able to edit the question, introduction, survey questions, and most other settings for the exchange, but there are two exceptions: Participation Groups and Language settings are not editable for exchanges created using Exchange Gallery.
