Update the FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service

[Discourse]

This guide explains how to update the FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service pages in Discourse.

Required user level: Administrator

Updating the FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service pages in Discourse can help ensure that your community guidelines and policies are up-to-date and reflect the current standards.

Editing the FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service Topics

The FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service pages are each created as a topic where they can be directly edited and discussed.

If you want to redirect these pages to external URLs, use the following site settings:

• faq url
• privacy policy url
• tos url

Additional Information

Changing Permalinks

You cannot currently change the routes /faq and /tos. It’s possible using a plugin, but not through built-in settings.

Multiple Route Synonyms

There are multiple route synonyms for /faq:

this.route("faq");
this.route("guidelines");
this.route("conduct");
this.route("rules");

Feel free to make hyperlinks using any of these synonyms.

Note: If you set the faq url site setting to redirect /faq to an external URL, the /guidelines, /rules, and /conduct routes will still display the built-in guidelines topic rather than redirecting.
