Great initiative, Bluebeam, nice to meet, Marco!

The first feedback I have is this: I was quite hesitant activating all the notifications and email options, so it came to me that it would be ideal to get a weekly overview per email. I hope the "Weekly Email Digest" fulfills that wish. I switched on all notifications, and off all email, except the one at the bottom for this Weekly Email Digest. If so, maybe simplify the first screen and make that the default for new members and a link to this list for later fine tuning. Great to communicate!

I'm confused, I don't see any place to select categories. I even did a search and nothing popped up as I would expect. Seems like there should be a preferences section under the user account or some place to choose categories. the list of topics you can click on to sort, but that doesn't allow you to follow or unfollow. Where exactly is this hiding? Clicking on the link doesn't get you there.

@Craig Smith

If you go to the main discussions page, the categories can be found at the top. For instance:

Peer Support
Product Ideas & Feedback
Community Hub

You can also select the main Bluebeam User Groups discussion to follow as well if you are a BUG Member.

Note: If no categories are Followed, the Digest will simply show the top content within the community overall.

Hope this helps!

Those are pretty vague and widespread. It's almost an all or nothing. Can't add user groups though. I tried and there is no follow button. I did finally find for the discussion groups. Was expecting it to be more broken into actual categories for markups, studio, etc.. More topical than just Ideas, Hub and peer support. will be more functional if you can get a little more granular I would think.

Luke Shiras

This started out more granular but the sections were consolidated before public launch. I imagine that this will get granular again as we get more users generating more content. The challenge is determining how content should be sub-categorized. There's so much overlap and "cross-posting" that it blurs the lines.

Subscribing to tags might be a logical option or simply the top (five) posts, or announcements…etc.
