What are Posts?
Use Posts to share company news, announcements, and other updates with employees. Posts can include formatted text, images, a cover image, a targeted audience, and comments.
Published posts are available to employees in the Employee portal.
Who can manage Posts?
Managers and Admins can create and edit Posts. Drafts can be accessed and edited by other managers and admins, so they should not be treated as private.
Employees can read and comment on published posts available to their audience.
Create a Post
Open the Aboard admin portal.
Select Posts from the navigation menu.
Select Create post or New post.
Enter a title and write your content.
Optionally, select Add cover to upload a cover image.
Use Change to replace it.
Use Reposition to adjust how it is displayed.
Review the audience and select Publish.
Your work is saved automatically as a draft. A title is required before the Post can be published.
Choose an audience
New Posts are visible to All employees by default.
To target specific employees:
Select the edit icon next to the current audience.
Choose one or more Departments.
Choose one or more Workplaces, if applicable.
Select Done.
Employees only see Posts that match their profile information.
Important: If you select both departments and workplaces, employees must match both criteria. For example, selecting “Sales” and “Stockholm” targets employees who belong to the Sales department and the Stockholm workplace.
What happens when you publish?
When a Post is published:
It becomes available to the selected audience in the Employee portal → Posts.
Eligible employees receive an email if Send notifications is enabled under the company’s general settings.
The email includes the Post’s title, an excerpt, its cover image when available, and a link to view it in Aboard.
A notification is only sent if the Post has not previously been sent. Publishing later changes will not resend the email once the original notification has been delivered.
Work with drafts
The Posts sidebar organizes content into:
My drafts — Posts you created that have not been published.
Shared draft — Drafts created by other managers or superadmins.
Published Posts — Organized by publication year.
Other managers and superadmins can contribute to shared drafts. Contributors are displayed at the top of the Post.
Edit a published Post
You can continue editing a Post after publication.
Changes to its title or body are saved as unpublished changes, meaning employees continue to see the previously published version until you select Publish changes.
Publishing the changes updates the Post’s publication date and its position in the Posts list. It does not send another email if the Post notification has already been sent.
Copy, unpublish, or delete a Post
Open the Post and select the ••• menu.
Copy link — Copies a direct link to the published Post.
Unpublish — Removes the Post from the employee Portal and returns it to draft status. You can publish it again later.
Delete — Permanently deletes the Post.
Changing the audience of an existing Post updates who can access it, but does not resend its email notification if one was previously sent.
The employee experience
Employees can open Posts from the Portal to see the published Posts available to them. Each Post can display:
A cover image
The title and an excerpt
The publication date
The author
The full Post content
Employee comments
Employees can also copy and share a Post’s link. Audience rules still apply when someone opens a direct link.
Troubleshooting

A Post must have a title before it can be published.
An employee cannot see the Post
Check that:
The Post is published.
The employee belongs to the selected department or workplace.
If both departments and workplaces are selected, the employee matches both.
The employee has access to Aboard.
Employees did not receive an email
Check that:
Send notifications is enabled in the company’s general settings.
The employees belong to the Post’s audience.
The employees are active, have access to Aboard, and have a work email address.
The Post has not already sent a notification. Previously sent Posts do not send another email when changes are published.
