From never missing LIVEcommunity news to staying up-to-date on the latest product features, subscriptions and email notifications are critical components for interacting with our community! Here are the details to help you make the most out of these features.

 

Subscriptions 

 

Subscribing to an area or an article is an easy way to stay up-to-date on what is going on in LIVEcommunity.  If a page or area is of interest to you, you can subscribe to them to receive notifications—by email or within the community or both—when a new blog or article is posted to the area or a comment or reply is made.

 

To subscribe to an area, blog, or article, expand the “Options” dropdown in the upper righthand corner and click Subscribe from the dropdown.

 

The option to Subscribe will always be under the Options drop down.The option to Subscribe will always be under the Options drop down.

 

In some selected areas, you also have a direct 'Subscribe' button available, saving you from having to go into the Options drop down.

For a start, we recommend you subscribe to the landing page for the product(s) you use.

If you’re more interested in general happenings and information, you can start by subscribing to the LIVEcommunity Blog area or one of our very active LIVEcommunity Discussions; there are many to choose from, so be sure to subscribe to those areas that most interest you.

 

How do I unsubscribe from notifications?

In every blog, article or area that you originally subscribed to, you will find the option to unsubscribe, either directly through the Unsubscribe button, or under the Options > Unsubscribe. You can also manage subscriptions in your settings (see Email Notifications below for more info).
