Feed

ELO offers several functions that support collaboration within your company. The ELO feed is a chat-based tool that provides a great way to exchange information on an entry.

Posts related to an entry are shown on the FEED tab. In the feed, you can comment on posts, mention colleagues, link posts, and categorize topics using hashtags.

The feed is used to share information on an entry (document or folder) and record changes to the entry. New feed posts are denoted with a green dot.

The following message types are shown in the feed:

• Posts
• Comments
• Events (e .g. when a new version of a document is filed or changes are made to the working version)
