Open your installation’s App URL. On the hosted demo this is app.howllo.dev. Use the sign-in method configured for that installation.

On Your workspaces, enter your product or project name, then click Create workspace. Howllo creates a URL slug and makes you the owner. It starts with zero boards.

The card shows its URL slug, board count, and member count. Click the card to open Manage workspace.

In Manage workspace, choose Boards. The left list shows boards already in the workspace.

Enter a board name, URL slug, description, and type. Choose whether it is private. Click Create board.

New boards start disabled. Select yours to set its description, appearance, categories, tags, posting rules, and public/private access. Click Save changes.

Turn on the board when it is ready, then click Open board or Copy public link. Disabling it later pauses its public URL without deleting posts.

In Manage workspace, select Public site.

Turn Boards, Feed, and Roadmap on or off. Enable Approve every post before publishing if you want manual review. Otherwise, regular posts publish immediately and suspicious posts wait for review. Click Save settings.

Upload your public logo, pick an accent and page background, then click Save appearance. PNG, JPG, and WebP uploads up to 5 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels are supported.

In Manage workspace, select Staff. Under Invite a teammate, enter their email and choose admin or moderator.

For local accounts, copy the one-time invitation code and share it privately. If your installation has a connected identity provider, the invite follows that provider’s acceptance flow.

The invitee opens Howllo App, signs in, and accepts or declines. You can check the result in Staff; acceptance alone does not give access to another workspace.

In the workspace manager, select Moderation. The queue shows posts waiting for approval and posts staff have hidden.

Read its content and reason for review, then click Approve to publish or Reject to keep it private. Use Show to restore a post staff hid earlier.

Choose Users in Manage workspace to see customers who have joined this workspace through its public boards.

On the person’s row, choose Temporary suspension and a duration (1, 7, 30, or 90 days), or Ban until lifted. Enter a reason.

The restriction takes effect across this workspace’s boards. To restore access, click Lift restriction.

Select Sign-in (SSO) in the workspace manager and click Enable SSO.

Your backend signs a short-lived user token and exchanges it with Howllo to start a board session. Follow the code example in the SSO tab and the authentication docs.

The workspace link opens the board directory; a direct board link opens that board.

Customers can read public feedback and the roadmap. Private boards require workspace membership.

Choose Sign in and use one of the methods enabled by that workspace.

Open a board to submit a bug or idea, vote on existing requests, and check status changes later.

For a local account, choose a username and password. If Google or Microsoft is enabled, you can select that provider instead.

Local registration shows one recovery code. Store it somewhere safe; external providers manage their own account recovery.

After signing in, you can post, vote, comment, and manage your public profile from the account menu.
