Purpose
Team updates are a type of article you can share on Cleary to easily share updates. Only sharing team updates to email or Slack can mean key updates from your team get lost in inboxes or in the conversation of Slack channels. It's also more difficult for new team members in the future to locate historical information. By sharing your key team updates in Cleary, you're building a key resource for your team members and other interested colleagues to search for and be notified about what your team is up to. And most importantly, you can still publish your updates to your team's Slack channel to meet people where they are in their flow of work.
Creating a new Team Update
There are two ways to create a team update, either on the front page, or through a team page:
- Click the Pencil Icon on the top right of Cleary
- Or, click on a team on the front page of Cleary.
Alternatively, Navigate to People, then Teams and click on a Team that you're a lead or member of.
- Or, click on a team on the front page of Cleary.
Note: Post permissions may differ based on the team type. If you need help changing these permissions, you can reach out to Cleary Support
- Once on the team page, click Create Post
