Recently added content widget

The Recently added content widget displays a maximum of 5 items of content, which have been recently added to communities a user is a member of, with the newest item of content at the top of the list.

By default, the Recently added content widget displays a maximum of 5 items of content. However, if you have chosen to apply the standard overrides, only 4 items of content are displayed. 

For information on the Recently added content screen on the sidebar, see Recently added content screen.

If the Recently added content widget is added to a Community specific page, only recently added content from that specific community is displayed to the user. For example, if the widget is added to the homepage of the Information Technology community, only recently added content from that community will appear in the list. The Recently added content widget cannot be added to the User Dashboard. 

If the background image for a PNG thumbnail is transparent or missing, Fuse automatically applies the company custom colour as the background, as shown below:

To prevent this from happening, you can convert the image to JPG or add a background to the PNG. This can be done locally on your computer or using an online programme such as: https://png2jpg.com/.

Users can filter the content displayed in the widget by type, using the dropdown in the top-right corner.

The following filters can be selected from the dropdown:
