# Feed Compact

Use the Feed Compact component to add a compact, scannable version of a feed to an object. Object types that take a compact feed include a record, a topic, a group, a user profile, or an overall site discussion. Feed Compact only shows questions in a feed, and is only recommended if the only feed type used is a question. The component provides a chronological list of questions made with the Feed Publisher component.

Compact feeds initially show only parent-level feed posts. Clicking a post takes you to the expanded post and all its related comments.

1. Select the **Feed Compact** component in the page you're configuring.
2. In the property editor, configure the properties for the component.

                    with a navigational topic, for example
                    <kbd>#Q4wins</kbd>. Users don’t have to
                    follow a navigational topic to see it in the discussion.
                    And feed items that discuss the topic but don’t have the
                    tag don’t appear in the discussion, even to users who
                    follow the topic. Shared feed items appear in a
                    Discussion feed only if the question posted with the
                    shared item (the share message) includes the topic tag.
                    Even if the shared item has a tag, it doesn’t appear in
                    the feed if the tag isn’t included in the share

                      items unless another person shared the item with a
                      group that you aren't a member of. With public
