The Live Feed Panel
Section titled “The Live Feed Panel”In addition to the dedicated Activity tab, there is also a live feed panel that floats alongside your dashboard on every tab. This lets you keep an eye on activity without navigating away from what you’re doing.
Administrators can turn the live feed panel on or off, and can disable it for specific roles.
