Social Feed

The social feed is your company's internal "notice board" — a place for posts, announcements, and exchange between employees, similar to a social network but visible only within your own company. Posts can be commented on and reacted to, and you can organize discussions into topical groups.

Frequently asked questions

Who can see my posts in the social feed?
Every employee with access to this area sees the general feed. Posts assigned to a group additionally appear filtered within that group.

Can I delete someone else's comment or post?
You can always delete your own; whether you can also moderate other people's posts or comments depends on your permissions.

What does "Pin" do?
A pinned post stays at the top of the feed regardless of its publish date — useful for important announcements.

Can I follow several groups at once?
On the left you select one group at a time (or "All Posts") to filter the feed; the selection can be switched at any time.
