Content Types on Community

Discussion

We encourage all Community members to post discussion threads and interact with other discussions.

Purpose: To start a conversation or ask a question.

Tone: Open-ended, inquisitive, inviting participation.

How do I start a new discussion post?

Anyone who is a Community member can start a discussion post in a Topic or a Group. To start a new post, simply navigate to the Page or Group that best matches your question/discussion. From the Topic/Group, click on the “Ask a Question” or "Start a Discussion". Questions are threads that require an answer, while discussions are open-ended threads for ongoing conversations.

Your discussion posts and responses to questions are expected to have a human voice and can reflect your personal writing style. However, please do be mindful of our guidelines regarding rules of engagement & sensitive content before posting.

Structure:

• Usually short and informal.
• Includes a prompt or question.
• May describe a problem or scenario and ask for advice or opinions.

Example:

Title: What's the best way to onboard new community members?
"I’m looking for effective onboarding strategies for new users. How do you make newcomers feel welcome and engaged?"

Goal: Encourage replies, different perspectives, and Community involvement.
