- Chatter Group Settings
Use Chatter group settings to configure group features like group archiving, records in groups, and unlisted groups. - Set the Format of Timestamps on Case Feed Posts
In case feeds show users a relative timestamp on new posts, like 10m ago, or an absolute timestamp, like January 7, 2020 at 12:15PM. Comments and replies are also shown with relative timestamps. - Convert Character Combinations into Emoticons in the Feed
Emoticons let your users enter character combinations in their posts and comments to create expressions. - Let Users Set Out-of-Office Messages in Chatter
Let your users schedule and customize an out-of-office message, and place it next to their name in Chatter. You can enable or disable this feature in Setup, under Chatter Settings. Setting an out-of-office message is available only in Lightning Experience. - Customer Invitations
Let users invite customers to the private groups that they own or manage. Customers are users outside your company's email domains. They have limited Chatter access and can see only the groups that they're invited to. They can interact only with members of those groups. - Coworker Invitations
Salesforce users can invite coworkers without Salesforce licenses to Chatter. Invited users can access Chatter people, profiles, groups, and files, but users without a Salesforce license can’t see record data. - Enable Add Actions in the Chatter Publisher
In Salesforce Classic, before you can add global actions to the Chatter publisher, you must first enable the Actions in the Publisher feature in Chatter Settings. Actions add functionality to the Chatter publisher and let your users do more in Salesforce across every device. - Feed Post and Comments Editing Overview
With feed post editing, users can edit their own feed posts. Record owners can also edit any post on records they own, no matter who created the post.
