Collectives™ on Stack Overflow are dedicated spaces where developers can find content that's organized around an area of technical practice or a technology provider's product suite. Defined by tags, a Collective brings developers together to collaborate and learn from one another, as well as connect with subject matter experts from the community and the organizations that help build or maintain a technology product/service. Content includes questions and answers, as well as technical articles authored by Members of a Collective, and Bulletins – timely, useful, and relevant updates published by Admins of a Collective.
Collective Admins can also grant users specific permissions, such as posting and approving Articles within a Collective, recommending answers that are associated with a Collective, and having a user badge that highlights their role within the Collective.
