Smart feeds

Smart feeds make the homepage more personal and relevant. They are blocks in the right sidebar of the homepage. A block can show a filtered list of articles (a "Dynamic Feed") or a message (a "Rich Text" block), for everyone or only for some teams.

A dynamic feed works like a smart tab, with two differences:

• It can show articles from several spaces at once.

• It can show different articles to different teams.

Examples

• The latest best practices, from several spaces, to break silos.

• The latest product updates, for each team.

• The tutorials of the platform.

• The latest incidents, only for the IT team.

You can also open it from "Settings" > "General" > "Look & feel": click "Edit" next to "Manage sidebar blocks".

The Sidebar Builder lists the blocks on the left. Drag a block to change its order, and use its switch to show or hide it.

The tag filter works like in smart tabs: tags of the same category are combined with "OR", tags of different categories with "AND". See Search Logic.
