Accessing my Commons Groups

Question

I've been added to a Group in Commons, but I cannot find that group anywhere. How do I access my Commons Groups as a member (not manager)?

@SarahPeterson08 Groups in Commons don't necessarily function like groups in the Canvas LMS where there is a group page where announcements, discussions, and other content can be communicated with other group members.  Groups in Commons function as a means of sharing content with the other group members within Commons.  Unless you are the group manager, you don't have the ability to view the group in insolation.  Instead, when you search for resources in Commons, you can limit your search to include only resources shared with your group (see Filter Search Results section ofHow do I use Commons? ) and you can chose to share a resource with your group when sharing to Commons (see Share within Groups section of What types of sharing options are available in Commons? ).
