The amount of new information that is created, shared, and consumed in the digital world on a daily basis is unfathomable. Knowledge is being shared at all moments of the day. According to Statista and the World Economic Forum, there are 5.7 million Google searches conducted, 148,000 messages sent on Slack, and more than 500 hours of content uploaded to YouTube every minute.
Similarly, organizational knowledge is shared within Stack Overflow for Teams around the clock. The knowledge hub provides teammates persistent knowledge regardless of when and where they access the knowledge base. Stack Overflow for Teams enables asynchronous knowledge sharing, a common requirement for organizations as they’ve embraced distributed and/or hybrid working environments.
It can be challenging to keep up with new or updated ideas and insights shared organization-wide, and this is part of the reason why we created For You. For You is a personalized feed in which users are notified when the content they created or share an interest in has been updated. It helps to create optimal transparency in knowledge sharing.
We’re eager to share that we’ve made enhancements to the feed to help users more effectively manage updates and tasks:
Users can now get up to speed quickly by viewing only unread notifications or filtering notifications by type including new or updated knowledge versus a request that requires their attention.
Users can save time by marking all notifications as “read” within a single click.
We help users manage their time more effectively by setting reminders to complete tasks at a later time/date. This can be done by snoozing a notification by a predefined number of hours or days. Through these personalizations, users can tailor their workflow so that the sharing and learning of knowledge fit into their schedule in a frictionless way. This helps users stay more focused and on track.
Or by customizing when to be reminded of notifications by choosing a specific time and date for a friendly reminder.
These new capabilities within For You help our users prioritize their activities and tasks within the knowledge base more effectively. Through in-product personalizations, users can find a method for managing notifications that work best for them and their working style while ensuring the critical knowledge base remains accurate and up-to-date over time.
