JANUARY

Follow posts to get notified

‘Follow’ button is now displayed on posts so that subscribers can get email notifications. Wait for a little more till we launch the web and mobile push notifications soon.

Control your social feed flow

The social feed on your homepage is where your members get updated on the latest changes. With the new feed visibility setting, pick what to and what not to add to your social feed.

  • If a post is not linked to a board, it is visible in the feed as default.
  • If a post is linked to a board, but the board is not visible on the feed, then the post will be available under the board, but it won’t be visible on the feed.
  • If a post is linked to more than one board and at least one of the boards is visible on the feed, then the post will be available on the feed.
