Create a Post
Click in the Editor at the top of the Announcements or Common Room and start typing. You can also add URLs from other platforms, which will unfurl in your post.
Click the + icon to add files, assignment blocks, LaTeX, or code.
Once your post is ready, click Post — or click Schedule if you’d like it to appear at a later date or time.
Add a Reaction
To react to a post or comment, simply click on the Reactions icon at the bottom of the post/comment and select your desired emoji. You can add several reactions and remove them at any time.
