Hump Day: added solved & unsolved filters to activity streams

[Jordan Miller]

Happy Hump Day, team! 

There's a new feature available to all included in 4.7 Beta 1: we added solved & unsolved filters to activity streams. 🎉 
 

What does this mean?

You can now sort through and stay up-to-date on any solved/unsolved content items by setting up a custom activity stream.

Why is this important?

This is particularly useful for community support forums where clients and members are searching for solutions to questions that have already been answered. Or, perhaps a developer is in search of questions or problems that are unsolved. 

Here is a view of an activity stream showing all solved content.

You can create a more granular search by inputting more information, like ownership, time period and more.  
 

 

Go ahead and give it a try by navigating to the activity streams located in our navigation. 

We have a few more updates available to you. Read our 4.7 Beta 1 release notes here.

PS - we have a new blog about hCaptcha headed your way soon. Stay tuned 😉
