Newsfeed Settings

Overview

Configure your newsfeed settings to best suit your needs.

For any post on your newsfeed, you can click on the question mark icon. This will show you why the update is showing up on your newsfeed as well as provide a link to quickly access your Settings. You can also access your Settings from your Tools Dropdown menu.

The News Feed is available in 2 modes: Recommended mode and Classic mode.


Classic Mode

Classic mode offers a number of ways to configure your News Feed, including custom tabs to help keep your feed sorted.

  1. Primary vs. Secondary Feed: Configure what is on your Primary and Secondary tab. Click on Configure to select what type of content should appear on which tab.

    Easily sort your content by dragging and dropping News Feed content types to either the Primary or Secondary tab.

  2. Show "Primary and Secondary" Tabs in: Select if you want your Primary and Secondary tab to appear as two separate tabs or consolidated into a single tab. You also have the option to rename the tabs.

  3. Which feeds appear as Unread?: Select what feeds should have new posts appear as Unread. You can specify Primary or Primary and Secondary. If you select only Primary, all new items in your Secondary tab will automatically be marked as read.

  4. Enable Additional Tabs: This option allows you to toggle on additional tabs to appear at the top of your News Feed.

    • Enable Secondary Tab: Toggle on to enable the Secondary tab. If you disable the secondary tab, it will not appear on your newsfeed, even if you select to have your feeds display in two different tabs.

    • Enable Unread Tab: Select to enable an Unread tab. The unread tab will display all unread items with respect to the previous selection in the Which feeds appear as unread? dropdown.
