What is a Pod?
Think of a Pod as a sub-team within your Marvin team. It allows you to organize your team members and share projects efficiently with specific groups. Your team can have multiple Pods, and one user can belong to several Pods.
Viewing Your Team's Pods
Head over to Team settings. You'll see a list of your team's Pods on the left side. The number next to each Pod name indicates how many members belong to it.
Managing Pods
1. Who Can Create Pods?
Only team admins have the authority to create or delete Pods.
2. Creating a New Pod
- Navigate to Team settings.
- Click on "New Pod."
- Choose a descriptive name for your Pod.
- Press Enter or Return to finalize the creation.
3. Adding Users to a Pod
- Go to Team settings.
- Select "All team members."
- Click the "Add/Remove pod" icon.
- Choose the Pods you want to add the user to.
- Click outside the Pod list window to confirm.
Important Notes:
- Admins can add/remove users from any Pod.

4. Removing Users from a Pod
- Go to Team settings.
- Select "All team members."
- Click the "Add/Remove pod" icon.
