| What is the Default Campaign? |
| --- |
| The Default Campaign is the campaign automatically preselected on the Idea submission form unless a member manually selects a different campaign. |

The Default Campaign streamlines idea submission by removing the need for members to choose a campaign each time they submit an idea. It is configured at the community level and applies to all members of the community.

### Roles and Permissions

1. 1\. Community Administrator: Can select and save the Default Campaign from the Defaults section of Community Info settings.
