Below is a breakdown of the functions of each tab within the Hub Settings. You can find more detailed instructions on using each tab by clicking the Instructions link next to each tab name below.
To get to the hub settings, click on My Hubs on the upper left> Select the hub from the drop down > hub settings.
OR
Click Admin Console > Hubs > Then select the gear at the end of the row with the hub you would like to edit.
