# Managing tributes and sharing a memorial

A published memorial can collect written tributes under **Memories** when **Allow members to leave tributes on this memorial** is enabled. Tributes appear immediately, and the memorial manager can moderate them afterward.

## Leave a tribute

1. Sign in and open the published memorial.
2. Find the **Share a memory of [name]…** box under **Memories**.
3. Write your tribute.
4. Select **Post memory**.

Tributes are text only. They appear as soon as they are posted; there is no approval queue before other visitors can see them.

## Moderate tributes on a memorial you manage

1. Open the tribute's actions menu.
2. Choose **Pin** to keep a meaningful tribute first, **Hide** to remove it from public view, or **Remove** to delete it from the memorial.
3. Return to the same menu to unpin or show a hidden tribute later.

Another member can report a tribute from its actions menu. The report goes to Creatures moderators; it is separate from the memorial manager's own controls.

## Turn tributes on or off

Open **Memorial**, select **Edit memorial**, and change **Allow members to leave tributes on this memorial**. Select **Save changes** to update a published memorial. Turning tributes off prevents new ones but does not hide tributes already posted. Existing visible tributes remain visible to visitors. Use **Hide** or **Remove** on an individual tribute when you no longer want it displayed; managers can still see hidden tributes.

## Share the memorial to the feed

While the memorial is still a draft, **Share a memorial feed post when published** is selected by default.

![Draft memorial settings with feed sharing, tributes, Save & Publish, and Save draft](https://cdn-test.creatures.com/5b8/f90/db7/6235e.png?width=1760)

Draft settings are shown above; a published memorial uses **Save changes**.

On first publish:

- a public memorial can create one public feed announcement;
- an unlisted memorial stays out of the public community feed;
- a private memorial creates no feed post.

Later visibility changes keep an existing memorial post aligned with the memorial. The editor shows whether the memorial was shared when first published.

Sharing a memorial is optional. Turn off that option before the first publish when you want the memorial available from the animal's profile without announcing it.
