easier for you to use.
The following features are new or updated for the Home page in IBM® Connections 5.0.

(#). This feature allows the submission of tags with events so that searches on the home page tag
finds those events.

comments. Now, when you click a hashtag in a comment in News and in the replies section of an
activity entry you are directed to a search result page. This page returns all status updates and
comments that have the corresponding hashtag. This feature aligns the behavior of hashtags in
microblogs to that in top level status updates.
- URL Preview is added to the sharebox.

these views the badge is visible and then fades when the user goes to the view and reads the
events.
