Update your chapter’s title, description, location, images, social links, membership mode, and access or status controls from Settings → Overview. Use the other Settings tabs for team, payments, and media.
Open your chapter in the Chapter Dashboard, select Settings in the sidebar, then open the Overview tab (/dashboard/{chapter-slug}/settings/overview). Your chapter team role controls which fields you can edit — contact your community admin if a control is missing.
Note: Team add/remove, payments, photos, tracking, and integrations live on other Settings tabs. This article covers Overview. For seats and roles, see Chapter Team Members. For Private, Hidden, Active/Inactive, and Test chapter behavior, see Chapter Access and Status.
Edit title, description, and images
- Update Title (required) and Description.
- Upload or replace the chapter Banner and Logo on Overview. Community-wide defaults may apply until you set chapter images.
- Select Save.
The chapter public URL path is usually chosen when the chapter is created. Overview does not expose a URL editor. If your community regenerates the path when the title changes (or HQ updates the slug), Bevy typically keeps a redirect from the old path.
Set location and region
- Under Location, choose the chapter location. Open the location details to set country, city, state, timezone, and latitude/longitude when needed.
- Optionally turn on Hide country name and flag on public pages so the country label and flag stay off upcoming-event lists and other surfaces that respect this setting (Page Builder chapter pages follow the template in use).
- If your community uses regions, select a Region (regions are created in the Admin Dashboard).
- Select Save.
Accurate latitude and longitude help events appear in location and region search. See Set latitude and longitude for chapter locations.
Parent chapter and sub-chapters
On Overview you can:
- Turn on Sub-chapters so this chapter can be a parent for other chapters.
- Choose a Parent chapter when this chapter should nest under a parent.
Full parent/child setup and Page Builder display steps are in Enable subchapters.
Access, status, and membership
These Overview controls are available when your role can change chapter status:
- Access — Private (members-only participation; cannot be undone from the dashboard after save) and Hidden (link-only discovery).
- Status — Active or Inactive, plus Test chapter (excludes chapter data from analytics).
- Membership — when enabled for your community: Open, Invite Only, Application Required, or Application Required (Anonymous Allowed).
What each access and status option means for discovery, events, and analytics is in Chapter Access and Status. Application surveys are configured under Members — see Setup membership applications for your chapter.
Important: After you save Private, you cannot turn the chapter public again from Overview. Contact Bevy Support if you need help reversing Private.
Add social and custom links
In the Socials section, add the links your role allows:
- X
- Custom Link
Links appear as icons on the chapter page when your community enables them. Select Save after you edit.
