Hashtags are a simple way of categorizing content in your domain into topics by using the hashtag symbol ‘#’ along with the topic or phrase and adding it to your post. For example:This is a great sales update! #SalesWin.Hashtags automatically turn the topic or phrase into clickable links in your post. Hashtags help your employees find content in your domain that matches the topic or phrase.
From the left-hand side menu, select Hashtags.
The Hasgtags screen shows you all hashtags on your site. The hashtags include Admin Defined and User Defined
'Admin Defined' hashtags are the ones that ship out of the box and any hashtags that are created by the domain admins to help your employees get value by finding related things quickly. These can only be deleted by an admin level user.
'User Defined' hashtags are the ones that are created by network users in your domain.
Guest users CANNOT create or follow hashtags.
