If you don't see feeds, ask your administrator to enable feed tracking for dashboards.

1. To follow a dashboard, click **Follow**.
    
    In Salesforce Classic, you follow all eligible components individually. You can choose to follow specific dashboard components.
    
    In Lightning Experience, you follow the entire dashboard. If you want to follow a specific dashboard component, switch to Salesforce Classic.
2. To follow a specific dashboard component in Salesforce Classic, hover over a component to display the ![Menu icon for dashboard components](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/collaboration/images/component_hover_sprite_first_state.png) menu, and select **Follow this Component**.
    
    To clear the hover menu, click an empty part of the screen.
