A retrospective look at the accomplishments and highlights from LIVEcommunity in 2022.
Can you believe another year has come and gone? These past 12 months have no doubt been eventful and we’d like to take a moment to reflect on all that was accomplished.
In 2022, LIVEcommunity made significant improvements. We redesigned our homepage navigation, developed new product pages and customer journey guides, won our first big industry award, published hundreds of helpful blogs and articles, and our members continued to engage in the kind of problem-solving and solution-finding that sets this global community apart.
The LIVEcommunity team appreciates all of those who visited us in 2022, and would like to extend a special thank you to users who provided feedback in the form of comments, mentions, thumbs up/kudos, and replies to posts. We wouldn’t be this vibrant community without each and every one of you!

LIVEcommunity Got a New Navigation Bar
Earlier this year, LIVEcommunity updated its homepage navigation! We simplified the navbar and drop-downs in an effort to fine-tune way-finding, organization, and overall user experience. Rather than having blogs, articles, and discussion hidden under Collaboration, these important LIVEcommunity resources now have their own spots in the nav. Products and Tools now have their own drop-downs, where you can hover to find your relevant assets.
