Feed
- James Goodwin
This is the main content feed showing all the content that has been posted to the platform that you have permission to see, such as content from communities that you belong to. This gives you a quick view of what has recently been posted to the platform. You can view, save, share, and comment on items that appear on the feed.
From here you can see the details of each item of content that has been posted, including the content type, title, description, when it was posted, and social information, such as how many times it has been liked, commented on, and shared.
