Content "boosting" is a feature that is unique to Topic Communities.
Learn more about this special type of community in Topic Communities.
Super Admins and Community Admins can boost any user-created content (e.g., library entries, discussion threads, events, questions) that they think is noteworthy and that they want to spotlight for other members. When content is boosted, it is "forced" to appear in Topic Community community notification email messages.
The boost can be set for either:
- 1–7 days or
- an unspecified duration and remain boosted until an Admin "un-boosts" it.
NOTE: Any Admin can un-boost content that was boosted by another Admin.
Boost content
The Boost option is to the right of the title of the content.
When content is boosted, the button text automatically updates to indicate the "boost."
- If the boost is for the 1–7 days option, the button text updates daily to display the remaining number of days.
Manage boosted content
Community Admins and Super Admins can manage all of a Topic Community's boosted content right in the community.
To access and manage boosted content:
- Click Settings to open the Settings menu.
- Under Administration, click Boosted Content.
The Boosted Content page displays all user-created content that has been boosted by an Admin.
You can see details about each item, such as the author and title, the type of content, and status of the content's boost.
Filter & sort the list
- Click the All Content Types dropdown and choose a type of content on which to filter the list. The list refreshes and displays just those content types.
- Click the Name dropdown and choose whether to sort the list by name or by the remaining number of "boost" days. The list refreshes and re-orders the listings accordingly.
Manage your boosted content
- In the Details column, click the title to access the content on its dedicated page.
- In the Boost Status / Actions column, click the button to change the current boost status. You can:
- un-boost the content now,
- decrease or increase the number of days to when the boost expires, or
- set the content to remain boosted until an Admin un-boosts it.
