Use hashtags

Use hashtags to categorize posts using keywords or topics. Hashtags are used to categorize posts and comments using keywords or topics, making them easier to find. The keyword entered as a hashtag is displayed as a link, highlighted in color. A hashtag consists of the # character followed by a keyword or phrase. There is no space after the # and the phrase does not contain any punctuation marks.

Example

  2. Add your post or comment to the relevant feed (Feed My feed, Feed All company feed, or your group feeds).

  4. Publish the post.

Your post is published and the keyword entered as a hashtag is highlighted in color as a link. Tags are automatically created for hashtags so that they can be used to filter feeds.
