Configure Spotlight Targeting

Spotlight Targeting identifies which employees a post is most relevant to without changing who can access the post.

Follow the instructions below to configure Spotlight Targeting:

1. In the post editor, open Settings.
2. Click Feature & Spotlight.

4. Search for and select one or more:
   • Audiences
   • User groups
   • Locations
5. Return to the post editor and continue configuring or publishing the post.

When multiple Spotlight targets are selected, an employee matching any selected target is considered relevant to the post. Posts without a Spotlight target are considered relevant to everyone.
