1. First, navigate to the Experience League homepage and select the Workfront Community. Alternatively, you can click this link to navigate directly to the Workfront Community page or by selecting the Workfront Community option via the navigation bar at the top of the Experience League page.  

 

2. This is the new Workfront Community on Experience League! On this page, you will see the standard forum layout with quick access links to other Workfront Community resources. 

By default, the forum feed is set to All – meaning that it will show every Community content type sorted by recency. There are a total of 4 content types on the Community: 

• Questions: The most common content type on Community. Community questions can have multiple responses but only one “Accepted Solution,” which is determined by the Community moderator or original poster. Use this content type to ask any questions you may have about Workfront. 
• Discussions: Use the discussion content type on the Community to talk about all things Workfront. Rather than a question about the Workfront product, use this section to hear other members’ opinions on.  
• Ideas: The Innovation Lab now has a new home on the Experience League! Use the ideas section to submit any product improvements you might have for Workfront and any of its sub-solutions. Product suggestions will be reviewed regularly by our Product Management team. 
• Blogs: The blogs section is the place for longform Workfront content. Please note that to post a blog, you’ll need to be a member of one of our Advocacy groups. Navigate to our blogs section to view thoughtful, deep analysis on Workfront topics. And now, you can comment on blogs to let us know what you think! 

3. Sub-communities and topics were crucial aspects within the old Workfront One Community that helped members access the content most relevant to them. 
 
On the Workfront Experience League Community, we’ve organized sub-communities and topics on the right-hand side of the Community page. Click on any of the available options to be directed to the respective sub-community or topic. Please note that sub-communities like the Workfront Administrator Bootcamp are private, and will only be accessible by certain Community members.  

  

Note: Users can also subscribe to boards by clicking "Subscribe" on the Workfront Experience League Community landing page.

4. To access your profile, Community preferences, and more, hover your mouse over your avatar located at the top right of any Community page to activate a dropdown menu (administrator options crossed out in referenced image).  

 

5. The Experience League Community platform supports language translation in 16 languages using Google Translate. To translate a community post, navigate to any post and click on the “Translate” icon to activate a dropdown menu, then you can translate the post into your preferred language. Keep in mind that this needs to be done for every post you’d like to translate. Additionally, the Experience League Community will always display content in the original language of the author.  

To update your community language preferences, hover over the globe icon next to your profile avatar and select one of 6 available languages. This will update the UI language settings, including buttons, tabs, sidebars, etc. but will not update the Community content. 

 6. To access your messages, click the letter icon to the left of your profile avatar. The messaging center is home to all your private messages with other Community members. A blue dot next to the icon indicates that you have unread messages.  

 

 

You can also compose a message by clicking on the Compose icon in blue on the left-hand side of the Messaging Center page.  

7. To access your community notifications, click on the bell icon to the left of your profile avatar. Like the messaging center icon, a blue dot will appear when you have unread notifications. The notification center contains all updates related to your Community activity, including replies to threads you’ve commented on, likes on your posts, acquisition of Community badges, accepted solution status, updates to your subscribed topics/sub-communities, etc. 

8 . To access your community profile, hover over your community avatar and select “My community profile” from the dropdown menu. Your profile page contains an overview of all your community activity, including badges earned, topics you’ve participated in, level, and total number of likes, comments, accepted solutions, and posts. It’s a great resource for accessing your previous contributions to the community, and keep up-to-date with all the achievements you’ve unlocked in our gamification system. 
 
Lastly, be sure to also check out the Community leaderboard by clicking on the “View leaderboards” button located to the right of the main profile header. The leaderboard is where you can see not only the top contributors within the Workfront Experience League Community, but also the top contributors across all Experience League Communities.
