These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# Create a stream
|
|
|
|
By default, all users other than guests can create streams. Administrators can
|
|
[restrict the ability to create a stream](/help/configure-who-can-create-streams) to specific
|
|
[roles](/help/roles-and-permissions).
|
|
|
|
If you are an administrator setting up streams for the first time, check out our
|
|
[guide to setting up streams for a new organization](/help/create-streams).
|
|
|
|
## Create a stream
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{relative|stream|all}
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Create stream** on the right.
|
|
|
|
1. Fill out the requested info, and click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
!!! warn ""
|
|
|
|
**Note**: You will only see the **Create stream** button if you have
|
|
permission to create streams.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Stream options
|
|
|
|
There are several parameters you can set while creating a stream. All but
|
|
**Announce stream** you can change later.
|
|
|
|
* **Stream name**: Appears in the left sidebar for subscribed users. The
|
|
stream name can be in any language, and can include spaces and other
|
|
punctuation.
|
|
|
|
* **Stream description**: Helps users decide whether to subscribe when they
|
|
are browsing streams.
|
|
|
|
* **Who can access the stream?**: See [Stream permissions](/help/stream-permissions).
|
|
|
|
* **Announce stream**: Posts a message to `#general` advertising the new
|
|
stream. Organization administrators can change the stream used for [stream
|
|
creation announcements](/help/configure-notification-bot#new-stream-announcements).
|
|
|
|
* **Who can post to the stream?**: See [Stream permissions](/help/stream-permissions).
|
|
|
|
* **Choose subscribers**: You can copy the membership from an existing stream or
|
|
[user group](/help/user-groups), add all users, or enter users one by one.
