After you have selected 'Done,' a new window will pop up providing you with your Feed Link. This link can be shared with your intranet or website manager to be added onto your desired page.

If you would like to adjust the design template for your newsfeed, this can either be done by your website manager with the feed link or please reach out to our team via Live Chat within the Help button with the design details. Our team will customize the design using HTML within the 'Advanced' tab.
