# Your community's pulse, Ask about your community, Sparks and more

> Tools for running a lively community: the pulse shows who has gone quiet and why, with their lessons and classes beside it; you can ask about your community in plain words; Sparks put short videos across the top; and a quiz of the day takes one click to answer.

## The pulse, and Ask about your community

![Insights: Ask about your community, and the pulse with active members per day and who has gone quiet](https://prolaud.com/help/community-glue/07-pulse.png)

*A community's Insights tab.*

- Pulse: members active each day for two weeks — a post, a reply, a lesson or a check-in.
- Gone quiet: nothing for a week, with why — “No lesson in 9 days · Missed 2 of the last 3 classes · Stuck on Curves”.
- Waiting for an answer, and the most helpful members.
- Ask about your community: “Who's gone quiet this week?”, “What are members struggling with?” The answer names people and links to them. Only you see it; nothing is posted.

## Sparks

*A Spark, full screen.*

- Short vertical videos, a minute at most, across the top of the wall. Upload one (up to 50MB, on plans with video uploads) or paste a link, like a YouTube Short.
- You and your moderators always can. Members can when you turn on Members can post Sparks in the community's access settings.
- A member's Spark or win goes to your public Wall of Love from Add to Wall of Love.

## Quiz of the day

*Members answer once, then see the right answer.*

In the writing box, choose Poll, write the question and answers, tick Quiz of the day — tick the right answer, and mark it. Members answer once; the right answer is not sent to anyone until they have answered.

## The top of the community

![The community's top with the teacher's line and photo, and Coming up with a webinar to register for and a course to buy](https://prolaud.com/help/community-glue/08-hero-coming-up.png)

*Your line and photo; Coming up.*

- Add a line on the cover: a few words of what the community promises. Suggest three offers ideas fitted to your subject.
- Coming up: your classes, your upcoming webinars (Register), and the community's courses a member does not have yet (Buy).
- Spaces sit under headings in the menu — Learn & practise, Milestones & wins, Hang out. Change a heading with the pencil beside a space.
- Each post shows how many people have seen it.
