# Quickstart: Open Community Settings

> Open the Settings modal, find the section you need, and make your first change to your Instaloops community in under a minute.

The Community Settings modal is the single place to configure your Instaloops community. This quickstart shows you how to open it and find any setting fast.

  <Step title="Open your community">
    Navigate to the community you want to configure from your Instaloops sidebar.

  <Step title="Click Settings">
    Click the **Settings** button in the community header. The Settings modal opens with the **Dashboard** tab active.

  <Step title="Search or browse">
    Use the search box in the sidebar (or press <kbd>⌘K</kbd> / <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd>) to jump to any setting by name. Or browse the sidebar sections: **Overview**, **My Settings**, **Appearance**, **Growth**, **Monetization**, **Content**, and **Integrations**.

## Owner-only tabs

Some tabs are only visible to community owners and admins with **Manage settings** permission. Members see the **Overview** and **My Settings** sections. If a tab you expect is missing, ask your community owner to grant you access.
