# Consult
This section discusses in detail all the intricacies of consulting and interacting with publications and shares.
# Navigate with Channels
The thematic channels are used to navigate within Cocoom. They allow you to filter knowledge into different categories.
A publication or a share must be linked to a single thematic channel.
A thematic channel is characterized by :
- name
- description (optional)
- color
- visual (optional)
Cocoom thematic feeds are visible within Microsoft teams in :
- the Personal App: my knowledge base in the headlines
- team tabs: individual tab with a thematic channel
The management of the thematic feeds is done by an Administrator in the Administration area of the personal App.
# Filter with tags
Tags allow filtering through a second level of specification for publications and shares.
The tags are not linked to a thematic channel, they can be transversal to all publications.
The filter button, present on all thematic channel views, allows to filter with tags.
β οΈ This button displays all the tags for your knowledge base, it is not specific to a thematic channel. You can therefore have an empty result following the application of a tag on a thematic channel if the tag is not used in this channel. We are working to offer you a dynamic filter.
The tag structure is managed by an administrator in the administration area of the personal App.
# Read Publications
Publications are your knowledge within Cocoom.
They are represented synthetically during navigation by "cards". These cards have 5 different formats:
You have to click on these cardss to display the complete content of the publication in a dedicated page.
# Read Shares
Shares are specific, short and interactive publications.
They allow you to vote or click directly in the map to give your opinion, register for an event or consult a link. These maps have 3 different formats (which have several variables) :
Like the classic publications, you can click on the map to view more details.
