Overview

Sharing an update in the Newsfeed is a quick and efficient way to communicate with your followers and teams. It allows you to share information, ask questions, or collaborate without the need to CC multiple individuals or teams.

By using the Newsfeed, you can keep everyone in the loop with minimal effort.


How to Share an Update

To share an update, start by composing your message using one of two methods: the top text field located at the top of the Newsfeed module or the Universal Compose Box found in the top right-hand corner of the interface.

Next, choose your audience. You can select whether your update will be visible to all of your followers or to a specific team. If you opt to share with a team, you also have the option to CC additional teams or individuals.

When selecting team visibility, a dropdown menu allows you to choose between making your update visible to all members of the selected team, which includes guest users and those who are not following you, or restricting visibility to Network Users Only, ensuring that only those within your network can view the update.

After choosing your audience, it’s time to compose your message. Enter your update in the message field, and feel free to enhance it by adding text, GIFs, or emoticons. You can also attach documents, images, or links by using the attachment button beneath the text field.

Enhance with AI

You will be able to preview the content before committing to changes. If you are not pleased with the AI's version, click the Undo button to revert back to your original draft.

You can even highlight only portions of your text for the AI to rewrite, in the event you would like to keep portions of your original text.

Lastly, if you want to track whether your update has been read by the recipients, check the Read Receipt box. This feature is particularly useful for ensuring that important information has been seen by your audience.


Markdown Syntax in Updates

MangoApps News feed Updates are compatible with basic markdown syntax. Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to format your text easily. It’s a great way to enhance the clarity and structure of your Newsfeed updates.

Examples of Markdown Syntax in Updates

Bold and Italics:

Use **text** for bold and *text* for italics.

Headings:

Use # for headings.

Links:

Use [Link Text](URL) to create hyperlinks.

Other useful markdown notations include: ~Strikethrough~, > Footnote, - Bullet point, --- Horizontal line.

By incorporating Markdown into your updates, you can make your posts more engaging and easier to understand.


Making an update in the News feed is a simple yet effective way to keep your followers and teams informed. With options to customize visibility, add attachments, and track read receipts, you can tailor your updates to meet your communication needs. Additionally, by using Markdown syntax, you can enhance the formatting of your messages to make them clearer and more professional.

, users will have to option to rewrite their composition with an AI assistant. Click the Enhance with AI button to have an AI improve the content of your update based on selections made from the dropdown menu.
