Hybrid Feed keeps updates, conversations, and hands-on work inside one connected workspace. Users can move through a space without losing the activity, content, or app they were using.
Explore And Contribute
•
Main Feed - Signed-in users can catch up on posts from all joined spaces without opening each community separately.
•
Focused space feeds - Space and activity feeds keep updates within the current context and only show private-area posts to members with access.
•
Rich post summaries - Authors can introduce work with text, images, albums, links, or polls before readers open the full article. The Posts and Feeds guide explains what stays connected when the article opens.
•
Create where you work - Eligible members can publish inside a space or activity, while Main Feed first asks them to choose a destination.
•
Drafts kept separate - Authors can switch between published posts and their own drafts without exposing unfinished work to other readers.
•
Engagement in context - Readers can react, give awards, save posts, or open the article for comments when permissions allow.
•
Curation and safety - Members can report posts, while eligible maintainers can pin or add published work to Expo.
Move Through Spaces
•
One connected workspace - Feed, Chat, Documents, Goals, and Events stay tied to the current space or activity. Supported live apps use the same context.
•
Quick space switching - The spaces rail gathers Main Feed, joined spaces, and available shortcuts, with indicators for updates, drafts, and active meetings.
•
Personal space order - Signed-in users can drag joined spaces into their preferred order, which is saved for later visits.
•
Space folders - Users can drag one joined space onto another to group them, then expand the folder or move spaces back out.
•
Replies and mentions - Attention markers help users notice conversations that need them, including a browser-tab indicator when replies or mentions remain unread.
•
Helpful return points - Reopening a joined space restores a useful recent location and avoids fragile detail pages that may no longer fit.
•
Space identity - Wider layouts show the current space, member count, and join or leave controls. Mobile keeps the same navigation compact.
Apps And Supporting Tools
•
Quick app access - The launcher gathers core destinations, account areas, and available live apps. Users can also open it from Main Feed or direct messages.
•
Favorite apps - Signed-in users can pin frequently used apps, reorder their launcher, and collapse the desktop Favorites list to icons.
•
Personal workspace shortcuts - The launcher's My Docs row opens personal Documents, Events, or Goals directly and shows used storage.
•
Community app destinations - Outside a space, community apps open in the first joined community in the user's space order. Users without one must join first.
•
Explorer to editor - File-backed apps begin with browsing and creation. Editor tools appear after users open a file.
•
Consistent work surfaces - Supported live apps share familiar places for primary tools, inspectors, history, view controls, assets, and comments.
•
Tools without detours - Users can open profiles, members, notifications, My Docs, View Later, related content, and app tools without leaving their current work.
•
Meeting-ready workspaces - Supported live apps can reuse their work surface in meetings with controls adapted to the meeting stage.
•
Clear availability - Apps marked Soon remain visible but cannot be opened. Available apps keep their own editing permissions and access requirements.
Fits Every Screen
•
Desktop context - Wider layouts can keep space navigation, main content, and supporting tools visible together.
•
Tablet panels - Tablet layouts move supporting tools into an overlay when both side panels no longer fit.
•
Mobile navigation - Mobile uses full-screen activities and tools panels, keeping the main content readable and controls within reach.
•
Touch organization - On mobile, users can hold and drag joined spaces or launcher apps to rearrange them without dedicated drag handles.
•
Focus when needed - Supporting controls can fade during desktop reading or meetings and return when users interact with the workspace.
Pick Up Later
•
View Later collections - Signed-in users can save supported content into named collections, then reopen it or move saved items between collections.
•
Personal documents nearby - My Docs opens personal documents and folders beside the current work, with access to the full Documents workspace.
•
Drag to keep - Users can drag supported content to View Later to save a reference, or into My Docs to create a personal copy.
•
Share into Chat - Users can drag saved posts and articles into Chat to prepare a link before sending it.
•
Invite continuity - Invite links preserve their context through sign-in or registration. Unavailable invitations show a clear warning.
