Stack Overflow for Teams is intended to be a private space for your team to ask questions without worry it'll be made public. But you might still have some questions about how it works.

  • If I post a question, answer or comment in this Team, will that be visible to people not on the Team? Will it show up in my profile somehow? Can Stack Overflow moderators see our content?

  • Will my membership in this Team be shown on my public profile?

  • Is our content safe from hackers?

Teams on Stack Overflow are implemented on strictly segregated database schemas. Content on a Team can not be seen by anyone who is not signed up for your Team. That includes high-reputation users, moderators and even employees of Stack Overflow. Some employees have access to anonymous metadata about your Team, but that's limited under our terms of service and because we respect your privacy. It's our Prime Directive for Teams.

Nobody outside your Team can see that you are a member. Earning 200 reputation on the Team will grant you an association bonus if you haven't already earned it on another site on the network. But there's no indication of where you earned it.

We're always on guard against unauthorized access to private data. One step we take is to hire outside security experts who test our systems and look for vulnerabilities.

Images are exactly like links, but they have an exclamation point in front of them:

![a busy cat](https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/Img/error-lolcat-problemz.jpg)
![two muppets][1]

 [1]: https://i.imgur.com/I5DFV.jpg "tooltip"

The word in square brackets is the alt text, which gets displayed if the browser can't show the image. Be sure to include meaningful alt text for screen-reading software.

Be sure to use text styling sparingly; only where it helps readability.

*This is italicized*, and so
is _this_.

**This is bold**, just like __this__.

You can ***combine*** them
if you ___really have to___.

To break your text into sections, you can use headers: 

A Large Header
==============

Smaller Subheader
-----------------

Use hash marks if you need several levels of headers: 

# Header 1 #
## Header 2 ##
### Header 3 ###

Both bulleted and numbered lists are possible:

- Use a minus sign for a bullet
+ Or plus sign
* Or an asterisk

1. Numbered lists are easy
2. Markdown keeps track of
   the numbers for you
7. So this will be item 3.

1. Lists in a list item:
    - Indented four spaces.
        * indented eight spaces.
    - Four spaces again.
2.  You can have multiple
    paragraphs in a list items.
 
    Just be sure to indent.

You can even put blockquotes in blockquotes:

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces or surround with groups of backticks: 

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four spaces
    will be stripped off, but all other whitespace will be preserved.

```
Markdown and HTML are turned off in code blocks:
<i>This is not italic</i>, and [this is not a link](https://example.com)
```

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

The `$` character is just a shortcut for `window.jQuery`.

If you want to have a preformatted block within a list, indent by eight spaces: 

1. This is normal text.
2. So is this, but now follows a code block:
 
        Skip a line and indent eight spaces.
        That's four spaces for the list
        and four to trigger the code block.

If you need to do something that Markdown can't handle, use HTML. Note that we only support a very strict subset of HTML! 

Strikethrough humor is <strike>funny</strike>.

Markdown is smart enough not to mangle your span-level HTML: 

<b>Markdown works *fine* in here.</b>

Block-level HTML elements have a few restrictions:

  1. They must be separated from surrounding text by blank lines.
  2. The begin and end tags of the outermost block element must not be indented.
  3. Markdown can't be used within HTML blocks.

    You can <em>not</em> use Markdown in here.
