Sharing to Teams

Org owners, admins, and series senders can share sent edition to Teams.

There are three ways to share to Slack:

• Right after sending an edition

🛠️How it works: 

1. After sending an edition, you’ll see the option to “Share to Microsoft Teams”. 

2. Once you click “Share to Microsoft Teams”, you can preview the message for your post. If your org has not opted out of HQ’s AI features, you can click “Generate summary” to generate a Smart Brevitized summary of your edition:

Note: This may take up to 20 seconds.

3. After generating a summary, click “Copy” to copy this summary to your clipboard:
4. Once you’ve copied the summary, click “Next →” to launch Microsoft Teams:
