8. Community Builder & Lightning Communities
The Community Builder is like the Lightning App Builder, except that it’s used
to design and build communities using Lightning components. Just like the
Lightning App Builder, you can use standard or custom components so
administrators can create community pages with point-and-click
customization.
Lightning in the context of communities means the use of Lightning
components to build communities. This is done through out-of-the-box
templates, such as Customer Service, Partner Central, etc.

9. Set up Communities
Enable Communities from
Communities Settings.
Select a domain name to
use for your communities
Now you can design and
setup a new community
