The General initiative

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Every organization on Tigerhall starts with one initiative, called General. It is your organization's default initiative.

Why it exists

Initiatives give content an owner and a scope. General is the initiative that exists before you've created any of your own, so there's always somewhere for content to live.

If your organization was using Tigerhall before initiatives were introduced, General is where your existing content now sits. Nothing was moved away from you or hidden — it was placed into General, and it behaves exactly as it did before.

What this means day to day

Your existing content is in General. Podcasts, power reads, videos, PDFs and external resources that predate initiatives are all owned by General.

Old admin links still work. A bookmark pointing at a specific content piece under the old /admin URLs resolves to the initiative that owns that content — for most existing content, that's General. See Where things moved.

General works like any other initiative. It has members, topics, roles and reporting on the same terms as an initiative you create yourself.

How the default initiative differs

It is marked Default. It shows a Default badge in the list of initiatives. It stays the default even if you rename it.

It can't be deleted or unpublished. These options aren't offered for the default initiative.

It can become your members' home page. With the Default Initiative Home Base layout, members land in the default initiative when they open Tigerhall, and every organization member is added to it. See Home layout.

When to create new initiatives?

Create additional initiatives when you need separation — different audiences, different owners, different reporting, or content that shouldn't be visible across the whole organization. Each initiative you create gets its own members, its own roles and its own reports.
