New Post: Easy and Fast Way to Contribute and Share Information
Unified Post
Unified Post provides a consistent method of posting any type of content (blog, wiki, image, Q&A, etc.) with title,
content, tags, file attachments, and hyperlinks. Unified Post is as easy to use as email, but is much more powerful and
flexible. It allows users to create a single instance of content rather than duplicates or silos that are usually created
through email. The post and its file attachments have automatic versioning.

Before you submit the post, you can preview it to see exactly how it will be displayed, including the collapsible
Information Panel, which consolidates all useful metadata into one place. Within this panel, you can easily see who the
contributors are, to whom and to which communities the post has been shared, comments, likes, tags, etc. And if the
post uses header styles, the Information Panel provides an automatically generated Table of Contents tab that shows
the outline of the post for quick navigation to any heading within the post.

respective contact’s or community’s library of posts. Optional email notification can be sent to everyone with whom the
post has been shared. Up to the previous seven “Share With” selections are automatically retrieved when you click into
the Share With field.

My View: Personalized Dashboard for Accessing and Engaging People, Communities, and Information
Activity Stream
This feature provides a centralized stream of status updates and activities from people you are following and within
communities of which you are a member. The items automatically appear in the activity stream in a reverse
chronological order based on their respective last participation activity (for example, added favorite, commented on,
edited, etc.).The Activity Stream allows you to set up and save custom filtered views based on a tag, a person, or a
community. It can enable you to discover relevant people, communities, and information - often serendipitously.

you have posted or commented on, and that you have manually added to the Watch List. It allows you to set up and
save custom filtered views based on a tag, a person, or a community. All views can be furthered filtered based on
unread state or favorite marker. The Watch List has a numerical badge that shows the number of unread items that
have new activities.
