Posts are entries that display in reverse order in your channels. They are typically used to provide real-time updates and you can decide to enable/disable comments as you desire. Posts can be added from either your Hub or through the Builder. 

You must have appropriate access to be able to post in the hub. Every channel (including the Home Channel) has different access levels.

In this article we look at:

How to create a post from your Hub

  1. Login to your Hub NOTE: You must be signed into your IHUBApp and have appropriate permission to be able to publish.

  2. Select the +COMPOSE button in the bottom right of your Hub.

  3. The 'Add post' form will appear for you. AddPostForm.png
