# Create and manage Team

## Create a new Team
**▲ Create a team from the sidebar**
Find the <i class="fa fa-angle-down fa-fw"></i> icon at the top-right corner of your dashboard sidebar, then click <i class="fa fa-plus fa-fw"></i>**Create new team**. Enter your team name, description (optional), URL, and choose the privacy type that fits your needs.

Team owner and admin can change the name, description, and URL later at <i class="fa fa-gear"></i> **Team settings** next to the team name on the sidebar.

## Team privacy types
There are two types of HackMD teams: private team is good for team collaboration, whereas public team is great for engaging with the open community.

| | Public Team (Free) | Private Team (Free) | Private Team (Paid) |
| --------------- | ------------------ | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| **Publishing** | ==Notes are public== | Optional | Optional |
| **Note privacy** | ==Everyone== | Team members | Team members |
| **Image storage** | imgur | imgur | ==Private S3 bucket== |
| **Member limit** | Unlimited | ==3 members== | Unlimited (Charge according to the number of people) |

Choose the team privacy type that fits your needs.

If you are NOT the team owner, click the <i class="fa fa-gear"></i> icon next to your team name on the sidebar to leave the team.

If you are the team owner, you cannot leave the team without deleting the team or [Transfer Team Ownership](https://hackmd.io/@docs/transfer-team-ownership-en) to another team admin.

## Delete Team
**▲ Delete a team in team settings**

At the bottom of the **Team settings** page, you will find in the **Danger zone** the button to delete the team.

## View all my teams


You could view all your teams at once. Click on your name at the bottom of the sidebar and select **My teams** from the list of options. You will see all the teams you're in and your roles in them.

## Team profile page


Each team has its profile page at `https://hackmd.io/@<team_name>`.
Filter team notes by tags with <i class="fa fa-tag"></i>**Tags** at the top of the page. Search by note title and tag in the search bar next to the tags filter.

If you are a member of the team, you could switch between viewing either all the team notes or only published notes on the team's profile page.

The sidebar will show information about the team. Team members and contributors are visible for public teams, but **hidden from outsiders for private teams**.
