Note Beginning in Summer ’26, Chatter is turned off by default in all new orgs. For any features in these orgs that require access to Chatter functionality or the Chatter APIs, turn on Chatter by going to **Setup** | **Chatter Settings** and selecting **Enable**. For details, see [Chatter Is Turned Off by Default in New Orgs Beginning in Summer ’26](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_chatter_default_off.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

Badges can only be assigned to users and by users who have Chatter enabled. We provided some default badges but you can create your own. You can also choose who else can create badges and who can give badges in your site.

    While Recognition Badges are a great way to keep your members involved in your site, keep a few things in mind when you use them.
- **[Recognition Badges Setup](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_setup.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    With just a few steps, you can set up Recognition Badges for your site and restrict who can create and give badges.
- **[Missions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_missions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Game mechanics, such as using badges, are a great way to get your users involved in your Experience Cloud site. However, assigning badges manually can be time consuming. Instead, use the Missions feature to assign members badges automatically. Community managers have their say in what action earns a badge and when it can be awarded, and then Missions takes care of the rest. And members can see which badges they haven’t yet earned, inspiring action.
- **[Assign Recognition Badges to Experience Cloud Site Members](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_give.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Assigning badges to members helps reward them for staying engaged in the Experience Cloud site.
- **[Delete Assigned Badges](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_delete_profile.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Sometimes badges are assigned to a member by mistake. If you gave the badge, you can delete it from the member’s profile page.
- **[Use the API to Give Recognition Badges Sample Code](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_recog_badges_via_api.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can use the API to programmatically give recognition badges to Experience Cloud site members.
