Shubham Padia 7ce87c66ac help: Make loose lists tight for help center files.
In our current implementation, loose lists and tight lists look the same
visually. Loose lists are lists with blank lines between list items, and
the contents of a list item should be enclosed in a paragraph tag in
that case. For unordered lists, paragraph tags have a bottom margin in
starlight and thus looses lists look much more spaced out than tight
lists.

That is not the behaviour we had in mind while writing the
documentation, the reason we had all these loose lists is to make the
documentation easy to write and read. So we attempt to remove all the
blank lines and fix the problem at source. Since paragraph tags are used
for other purposes in a list in starlight, it won't be a wise decision
to let the source be as is and just change things in css, other expected
behaviours might break in that case. See this topic for more details:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/19-documentation/topic/new.20help.20center.3A.20regressions/near/2226084

All the changes were made by a one-off script which has not been
commited to the repo. The script wasn't perfect and could not decide
between blank lines that make a list loose vs blank lines necessary for
a sub-list or a code block inside a list item. A manual review of all
the changes was done before making this commit to ensure that no
unintended changes were made to the help center files.

Invite new users

You can invite users to join your organization by sending out email invitations, or creating reusable invitation links to share.

Prior to inviting users to your organization, it is recommended that administrators:

When you invite users, you can:

  • Set the role that they will have when they join.
  • Configure which channels they will be subscribed to. The organization's default channels will be preselected.
  • Configure which groups they will be added to.

Organization administrators can configure who is allowed to invite users to the organization. You will only see an Invite users menu option if you have permission to invite users.
