What is the feature 'Updates' under Communications? How do I customize them?

Use Engage's Rich Text editor to format text, add images, and share videos and podcasts on your News Releases

The Update functionality allows you to share company updates such as news, social media posts, blog articles, and more through email and updates feed posting.

DealMaker Engage’s Rich Text editor lets you format and embed content directly on your 'Updates' to keep your audience glued to your company’s Feed Update. Common keyboard shortcuts help you quickly craft your content.


To access the Rich Text editor, click Compose Email to start a new document. Or click the options icon of a Scheduled or Draft document and click Edit to resume work on a saved document.
