Use the feed for announcements

The Feed app is your program’s announcement board and discussion space. Use it to share updates, celebrate wins, post resources, and encourage conversation among participants.

Creating a post

  1. Open the Feed in your program
  2. Click New Post (or click the “Write something…” input)
  3. Write your content using the rich text editor
  4. Optionally add:
    • Cover media — A single featured image, video, or embed displayed at the top of the post
    • Attachments — Files like documents, images, or videos
  5. Publish your post

Your post appears at the top of the feed and participants receive a notification.

Sorting the feed

Posts can be sorted by:

  • Latest — Newest posts first (default)
  • Oldest — Oldest posts first
  • Most reactions — Posts with the most emoji reactions
  • Most commented — Posts with the most comments

Comments and replies

Feed post with comments panel showing participant responses

Participants can comment on posts and reply to each other’s comments:

  • Comment — Click below a post to add a top-level comment
  • Reply — Click reply on a comment to start a threaded conversation

Comments support rich text, @mentions, and file attachments.

Reactions

Both posts and comments support emoji reactions. Hover over a post or comment and click a quick reaction (👍 👏 ❤️ 💡 😄) or click + for the full emoji picker.

Editing and deleting posts

  • Edit — Open your post’s action menu and select Edit. You can modify the title, content, cover media, and attachments
  • Delete — Open the action menu and select Delete. Admins can delete any post; participants can only delete their own

Who can post

By default, all members can create posts. To restrict posting to admins only:

  1. Open the Feed app settings
  2. Change Who can create posts? to Admins only

This turns the feed into a one-way announcements board where only admins post and participants comment and react.

Notifications

Feed notifications keep participants informed about:

  • New posts in the feed
  • Comments on their posts
  • Replies to their comments
  • Mentions in posts or comments
  • Reactions on their posts or comments

Participants can adjust their notification preferences for the feed.
