Channels and News enhance collaboration by enabling you to publish timely information to everyone in your organization. A Channel is a type of container that stores News items. News is the information itself.
Communicating with News items offers the following benefits:
The creator of a Channel can use permissions to control who can read and add News items to the Channel.
You can add a News Player to a container or workspace to “broadcast” information to users who browse those locations.
The information in a News item is automatically indexed by the system, so that it becomes searchable.
You can attach files to a News item to give users easy access to them.
