## 16.1. Creating a Discussion Board

Discussion boards are an excellent way to share ideas and collaborate with colleagues. You can create a discussion board in any repository folder provided that you have `Create` or `Full Control` permission on that folder.

Note: If you want to start a discussion about a particular object in EKM, you can do so directly when viewing the object, and do not need to create a discussion board for it. See Starting a Discussion for details.

To create a discussion board:

1. Select a shared EKM folder, and then select (New) > Discussion Board.

2. In the New Discussion Board dialog box, type a name for the discussion board.

3. Click OK. A discussion board object is added to the folder.

Note: The creator of a discussion board has full control over the board, and may grant privileges such as Delete or Full Control to other users by selecting (Edit) > Permissions. However, all users will be able to start and add comments to discussions regardless of the permissions specified for the discussion board.
