Feed Publisher

The Feed Publisher component lets customers create rich text posts on records, groups, topics, and profiles, and attach files from any of their devices. It also supports multiple file attachments, inline images, and rich link previews. The Feed Publisher component isn’t supported for articles.

The Feed Publisher offers a way to add content to a site feed. It works together with the Feed and Feed Compact components. When site members create posts using the Feed Publisher, the posts are displayed in the related Feed or Feed Compact component on the page.

Note
Note The way the Feed Publisher component appears in Experience Builder mobile preview mode can differ from the way it appears in display mode. For example, let’s say in Setup an admin adds actions to the global publisher layout. They add New Task, New Event, and Log a Call. Those actions appear in preview mode for both the desktop and mobile views of the publisher. But, after you publish your changes, the actions appear only in the desktop view, not in the mobile view. Only the Post action is available in both views.

By default, the Feed Publisher lets users attach any supported file type up to 2 GB per file. For best performance, inline images up to 25 MB per image are recommended. Inline images over 25 MB appear at full size, and can be slow to load.

Note
Note Copying inline images from external sources and pasting them into the text editor isn’t supported.
