As a community admin, you can post updates to the community feed. You can choose whether you want to post to everyone in your community or just a subset of members.

  • Everyone (Users + companies)

  • Only company founders (companies)

  • Only users (investors, mentors, and advisors in that community)

This comes in handy when you have information that is not relevant to share with everyone but maybe, for example, only to the company founders. Members of your community will be notified about a new update.

How to create an update:

  1. Click on the update box

  2. Choose the audience at the top of the box (both users and companies or just one of them)

  3. Add content, photos, etc. to your update (read more below on how to edit your post)

  4. Click "Publish" to share your update

You can pin the update to the top if desired after publishing.

  1. Click the 3 dots on the update

  2. Click "pin to top"

  3. Confirm by clicking "pin"

Text formatting

  • Use normal for body text and highlight titles and subtitles by choosing Heading 1 or Heading 2.

  • Make words bold or cursive to emphasise important sections.

  • Add quotes by clicking the quotation mark.

  • Simplify text by adding either bullet points or numbered lists

External content

You can link to or embed external online content to your update to make it more engaging as well as add photos.

  • Links

    • A preview of the linked page will be shown in the update and readers can click the link

    • Highlight the word or section of the text you want to add the link to and click the link icon on the toolbar.

  • Images

    • Click the image icon in the toolbar to insert an image to your post

  • Embed content

    • You can embed content from other social media to your updates.

    • Add LinkedIn or YouTube videos to your update to make it more engaging. Read more about that here.

Emojis, mentions and attachments

Highlight the right members by mentioning them in your update or attach important documents you want to make sure your network sees.

  • Emojis

    • Add emojis to make your text more visual by clicking the smiley and choosing the desired one.

  • Mentions

    • Mention relevant members on your update by clicking the @ - icon and writing the name of the person you want to mention. Read more about mentions here.

    • People you tag will be notified about it.

  • Attachments

    • Attach documents, presentations or other files to your update to easily share them with your network.
