Follow a community when you want to be notified about the
latest updates to the community, for example, community activities
or blogs. 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
If a community is publicly
accessible anyone can follow that community.
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
updates to a community wiki, you can follow the entire wiki or a specific wiki page. To follow
community content, open that content from the community and click Follow to
view the options available for following that content.
Procedure
To follow a community, complete these steps.
- From one of Public Communities,
I’m a Member or I’m an Owner
views, browse 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 track
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.
