Posting Cards to Discover Feed

Sharing Your Knowledge with the Community

Once you've created valuable Knowledge Cards, you might want to share your insights with other researchers and academics in the Elumity community. The Discover platform allows you to publish selected cards publicly, making your research summaries, methodologies and findings accessible to peers who might benefit from your work.

Publishing a Card to Discover

Publishing a card to Discover is straightforward and can be done directly from your card library or while editing a card.

From Your Card Library

Navigate to your Cards section and locate the card you want to share. Click the three-dot menu (ellipsis) on the card you wish to publish. Select "Post to Discover" from the menu options.

From Within a Card

While viewing or editing a card, you can also access publishing options through the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of the card editor. This allows you to publish cards immediately after creating them when you're confident they're ready for community sharing.

Once published, your card becomes part of the public Discover feed where other Elumity users can find, save and interact with your content.

What Happens When You Publish

When you post a card to Discover, it retains all its formatting, references and multimedia content. Other users can:

  • View your complete card content
  • Save your card to their personal libraries
  • Recommend your card to their colleagues
  • Follow you as an author for future updates
  • Comment on your card for feedback and discussion
