User activities widget

The User activities widget shows a list of comments and likes posted on items of content, with the latest comment or like at the top of the list. This widget is an excellent way to surface conversations and drive social engagement between users.

Only comments and likes posted by other users are shown. Likes and comments that you have personally posted are not shown on the User activities widget. 

The User activities widget can be added to the Default homepage, Audience Specific Homepage, Default Manager Dashboard, Manager Specific Dashboard, and Community specific pages. 

The title of the content that was liked or commented on is displayed at the top of the card. 

The name of the user who liked or commented on the content is displayed underneath the content title. Clicking the user's name takes you to their profile. 

The date and time a comment or like was posted is displayed at the bottom of the card.

If a comment is part of a thread, you will see how many comments are in that thread. For example, if the comment is part of a thread containing 3 comments, you will see 3 comments.
