Newsfeed
Posts to your families: a photo of the day, a reminder, a note about the week.
New posts A red number on Newsfeed, in the bottom bar and the sidebar, counts the posts you have not seen yet. Opening the Newsfeed clears it.
Posting Write in the box or let Polish with AI draft it. Add photos, videos, or a PDF. Choose Share with: All my families or Specific children. You can turn comments off for the post; it then shows Comments off.
Formatting The toolbar above the box works like the one in your email. Font (Sans Serif, Serif or Fixed width), size (Small, Normal, Large or Huge), Bold, Italic, Underline, Text colour, Align (left, center, right or justify), Numbered list, Bulleted list, Indent less, Indent more, Quote, and Strikethrough. Remove formatting is in the ▾ menu at the end. Select the words first, then pick the style. The same toolbar is there when you edit a post.
Pasting Text you paste from Word, Google Docs or a web page keeps its formatting. Line breaks are kept too, so paragraphs and lists look the way you typed them.
Polish with AI Type a few words, then tap Polish with AI. The draft keeps every fact you typed. An announcement may open with a short greeting and end with a short thank-you, with the key details, like a date or a deadline, in bold. Use Try again, Shorter or Longer, Warmer or Plainer to adjust it, or My words to put back what you typed. Read it over before you post.
Who gets it All my families goes to every parent of your home. A post for specific children goes to those families. Your agency team sees every post, for oversight. Posts never reach other homes. Photos in a post also land in your gallery.
Finding a post Use the filters above the feed: My posts for your own, and a from and to date.
Viewing photos A post shows up to four photos. When there are more, the fourth says +N: tap any photo to open it full size and swipe through the rest with the arrows. Videos start when you tap play.
Reactions Tap the heart to love a post, and tap it again to take it back. Hold the heart, or tap the smiley beside it, for more: Love, Like, Haha, Aww, and Star. In October a pumpkin joins them. Double-tap a photo to love the post. One reaction per person.
Reactions, comments and views Under each post you see how many reacted, how many comments it has, and how many people it went to have viewed it. On your own posts, tap the reaction number to see who reacted (or on a computer rest the pointer on it), and the views number to see who viewed, each family with its child. Families see the totals, never the names.
Comments and changes Families can comment unless you turned comments off. Edit or delete your own post from its ⋮ menu.
Alerts Alerts on / Alerts off in the header controls the push notice for new posts. With alerts off you still see posts and unread counts.
