 ==== Setting Leaders/Advisors ====
-Content incoming.
+Groups can have multiple leaders or advisors. You can designate users to this role by navigating to Settings -> User Groups -> View Groups, clicking the 'Manage Members' button, and then clicking "Add as Leader" by the username you wish to elevate to a leader role. Then, simply type in their name to confirm and click the 'Confirm Addition' button to make them a co-leader (Fig 8).

 ==== Removing Members / Leaving a Group ====
-If you are part of a research group as a co-leader or as a member, you may leave a research group anytime you choose. As a co-leader, you must first step down as an advisor, after which you can leave the group. If you are simply a group member instead, then you can leave at any time by clicking the 'Leave Group' button.

 ==== Removing Leaders/Advisors ====
-Leaders/advisors cannot be directly removed in the way that members can be. Instead, a request-based system, similar to the group invite, is used. When you issue a request for someone to step down as a leader/advisor, they must accept the request. Once they do, they'll become a regular group member and can be removed accordingly. However, if the co-leader refuses the request, then you will need to have a conversation with them or with BioPACIFIC MIP leadership to evaluate the situation.

 ==== Setting Notebook Visibility ====
 In order for group members to see each others' notebooks, they must opt into notebook visibility. This requires the user to go to Settings -> User Groups -> View Groups, then click the 'Manage Visible Notebooks' button. Here, you may select which notebooks should be visible to the full group. Once you've made your choices, click the button to save them, after which point, all pages in those books will be visible to the members of the group.

 ===== Group Notebooks =====
-Content incoming.
+Once users have selected the notebooks they want visible in the user group, all users may view these notebooks and their corresponding pages by navigating to "My Group Notebooks" in the top navigation bar. On this page, users will see a file tree with the following organization: group name, user name, notebook name, notebook pages (Fig 12). Clicking on a notebook page will load a read-only version of the notebook page. This is not a copy! It is the real, time-accurate notebook page of the user who selected its notebook for visibility in the group. All fields and annotation ability are set to read-only mode and saving or modifying content on the page is disabled. Users can view associated files (Fig 12) and download them directly from the page.
