Follow a community when you want to be notified about the
latest updates to the community, including updates to community content,
for example, community activities, blogs, files, forums, wikis, and
events. You are not automatically sent these notifications if you
are a member of the community; you must follow the community to receive
them.
Before you begin
Anyone can follow a community as long as the community is
publicly accessible; you do not have to be a community member to follow
a public or moderated community. If you are a community owner or creator,
then you are already following the community. You cannot follow a
restricted community unless you are a member of the community.
Note: If
you do not want to follow an entire community, you can follow specific
community content to get updates about that content. For example,
if you are interested only in receiving notifications about updates
to a community's wiki, you can follow the entire wiki or a specific
wiki page. To follow community content, open that content from the
community and look for the Follow button. Click
the button to view the options available for following that content.
Procedure
To follow a community, complete these steps.
- From the Public Communities, I’m
a Member or I’m an Owner views,
navigate to the community that you want to follow.
- Click Follow this Community.
What to do next
You can view the communities that you are following by selecting
the
I'm Following view. You can also keep
track of updates in the communities that you are following from the
Home page by selecting in the
I’m
Following view.
If you no longer want to receive notifications
about the latest updates to a community, you can stop following it
at any time. To stop following a community, open the community and
click Stop Following this Community.
