How to Strengthen Social Connections on Your Intranet
Brian McIlravey speaks to a topic that's elusive for many in our shift to remote work, how do we gather around the water cooler going forward? In our WFH culture, problems like burnout and isolation are on the rise - read more about how we strengthen the social connections that make us more productive and happy work, wherever it happens.
Getting Started: Sustainability
We've learned a lot about exponential growth this year, and it applies to governance theory too. Jim writes, "If your Igloo has a hundred people, and each of them creates one item a day, in a year you'll have over 25,000 pieces of content. It scales rapidly from there, and can make finding what you're looking for a challenge." Consider Jim's Archiving and Labels tips as part of your governance model.
March 2021 Product Release
We've overhauled the preview experience of documents (e.g., MS Word documents, pdf documents, etc.) to provide a more modern user-friendly interface. This includes a taller display window, an updated toolbar, and a better document search experience.

From the Archives
Deleting versus archiving content (BP)
The Best Practices Center denotes considerations when deciding between archiving and deleting content. Remember, archived content is visible to users in the channel but prevents them from being edited, commented on, or returned as search results. The bonus content management option? Moving content into a depermissioned area of the Site Manager.
Enhancing Page Appearance with Row Classes
The first time I dropped a widget on the white gap in the page opened new possibilities for how I could build and configure. Ready to take that next step? Watch this quick video to see row classes in action, you might already have them in your site.
Enhancing Widget Appearance With Classes
Like row classes, widget classes add more paints to an artist's pallet. In this short video, learn how using the class field in a widget can affect how the widget is styled. Try using row and widget classes together for new page layouts.
