Create News

News is just like the News from your daily newspaper; it should be quick to read and - unlike Wiki pages - only relevant for a brief period of time. In the app, News is prioritized based on the latest; so the team always has the latest News at the top of their feed. When creating News, the members with the selected locations and professions will receive a notification.

Category: Choose a category for the News. It is possible to choose from:

• Announcement

It is possible to edit and create personalized categories. Click here to learn more.

• Don't include the space when you add the highlight attributes (bold, italic). Do as the first image when selecting the text and try to avoid selecting the spaces next to it (second image):
