When a new article is published, you get a notification in Chats and your email. You can choose to unsubscribe, subscribe, or tweak the notification settings.

Filter and view articles

In Space articles can be targeted to certain teams or locations when published. That means that when you open Blog you'll see only those articles that are intended for all organization members or specifically for you, based on your team or location. However, you can easily switch the default viewing setting to view all the articles regardless of targeting.

  1. Click blog.png on the main menu to go to Blog.

  2. Use the For me toggle to display either all articles or only those targeted to you based on your team or location.
