Effective communication and organization of information are essential for businesses to ensure employees are delivered the content they need. Employees may miss crucial updates or changes when information isn't organized properly, potentially leading to mishaps and mistakes on the job!
Feed Topics allows you to segment your feed based on your custom topics and categories. With the ability to differentiate between what’s important and what is merely 'nice to have', businesses can organize Updates by category to ensure everyone stays informed while maintaining their attention on the information that matters most.
In this article, we will go over:
How to Set Up & Add Feed Topics
Navigate to the Updates Feature on the left sidebar
Click on Settings in the top right-hand corner
Enter the Feed Topics tab and toggle on the Enable Feed Topics button
To add a new feed topic, click Add and give your topic a name. Finally, be sure to save changes.
Note that by default the All topics feed is toggled on. This is a feed containing all posts from across all topics. By default, it is also the first feed employees see. You can remove it by toggling this option off. Note that when doing this the default tab, meaning the first tab employees see will be moved to the next topic. Take a look at how this looks below.
How to Edit, Remove, and Reorder Feed Topics
To remove a feed topic, click on the trash can to the right of the topic. To rename a feed topic, hover over the feed topic, and click on the pencil
