How to follow channels and content
Select Ellipsis while on a channel or content to display follow options. When on content, you can choose to follow the current content and/or the channel where that content resides.
Navigating to a channel using search
If you want to follow a channel that you know exists in your digital workplace, but you have never favorited or received content from, you will need to find it using search. While viewing any tab other than the Web tab:
- TapSearch (upper right corner of the app).
- Enter the name of the channel that you want to follow.
- TapSearch, or tap any of the recent search suggestions, to perform a search.
- If the search defaults to People, tap Content to view those results.
- Tap a search result to go to it.
