    Post Content as another Person

    It should be possible to better share content from CNX in Teams Below I share the comment we received from HCL on this idea. Now if you do have an app (and we do of course as long as the user has deployed it), then the app gets a signal to display...

    Make the engagement center and Tiny Editors part of the standard Connections that installs with everything else.

    Force the usage of Tags for different Connections App

    It would be nice if there was the possibility to activate an option that blogs, wiki or forum entries can only be created with 1-2 tags. (Maybe depents on Community settings) If necessary, also a checkbox that you want to create it without tags.
