Why is my node not showing after creation? A helpful guide.

I was initially confused that newly created nodes within a Group were rendering, basically, blank.

The answer is that group node content must be configured to show the "Content" field as a rendered entity. Since we can field this relationship between a Group and a Node, we must also handle the display mode of this relationship.

Step 1

Ensure you've enabled node types that can be created within a group by navigating to /admin/group/types, clicking the Operations dropdown for a Group type and selecting "Set available content":

Step 2

You'll be sent to /admin/group/types/manage/{{group_type}}/content. Ensure a Group Node for a content type is installed. I've installed Article for my Group type. Click the Operations dropdown for your content type (Article) and select "Manage Display":

Step 3

You'll be sent to/admin/group/content/manage/{{group_type}}-group_node-article/display. Now simply ensure you've dragged the Content field up out of the "Disabled" section, set it's format to "Rendered entity" and it's view mode to "Default" (or whatever other view mode you prefer for your Content Type). You'll also have the chance to adjust any other fields you've added to this Group Node relationship.

I hope this helps others who are getting their heads around the fieldable Group relationship entity (which is awesomely powerful!) Please let me know if I should adjust any terminology here or make any edits. Also let me know if this is the appropriate place for something like this.
