This happens through Hylo’s unique nested network architecture that allows Groups to link up to form larger networks. = Each individual group on Hylo is an integrated whole and—at the same time—part of a larger whole. Community creators have the ability to create unlimited nested subgroups, as well as link their group to other networks they’re a part of. ## Viewing the Network Map The Groups tab in your Group Menu or in All Views takes you to a network map with all related groups.\ \ A network map is generated and you can see all the parent and child groups associated with your group. At the moment, you will only see one generation of parent/child groups. Learn more about Group nesting here.
