The Academy Feed section helps you track activity in your Academy. It’s a single chronological feed where you can see which learners have joined the Academy, who has logged in, and how often, without having to check each section separately.


📰 How to use the Academy Feed?

In the left-hand menu, click the ⭐ Academy Feed icon:

The feed page will open. Events are grouped by date, with the most recent ones at the top. The feed displays the following information:

  • an event description, for example “Margaret Fetter has entered your Academy 16 times” or “You have a new learner Andrew Robertson”;

  • the learner’s name as a link that takes you to their profile;

  • the event time on the right;

  • the “Mark all as read” button.

📌 If the feed has accumulated a lot of notifications, click Mark all as read. After that, all events will immediately be displayed as read.

You can add a reaction to each event to track its processing status within your team and avoid duplicated tasks:

📌 To see who left a reaction, hover over it. The administrator’s name will appear right away:


🔎 How to filter events in the feed?

  1. Click “Add filter” at the top of the feed.

  2. Choose the parameter you want to filter events by:

Three filters are available:

  1. Notification type

  2. Reaction

  3. Date

👀 Let’s look at each filter in more detail

Notification type shows only events of the selected types:

  • Learner

  • Course

  • Certificate

  • Quiz

  • Location

  • Exam

  • Gift shop

Reaction shows events that have the selected reaction: ❤️, ✅, 👀, 👍, or ❌:

Date shows events for the selected period:

📌 Filters can be combined. For example, to see only certificate notifications that you’ve marked with the ❤️ reaction, select the “Certificate” type and the ❤️ reaction.


💾 How to save a filter?

You can save a selected combination of filters with one button: it will be pinned to your account and applied automatically every time you open the Academy Feed.

Set up the filters you need and click “Save filter” next to them:

📌 The filter is personal: the set you save does not affect other administrators’ feeds.


How to reset a saved filter?

Remove all filters and click “Save filter”. The saved filter will be reset, and the feed will show all events again:
