Overview

You notice that certain actions, such as edits and uploads to document libraries, appear within the Community Social Stream Newsfeed within your Community site. This behavior appeared recently and is not appearing on other Community sites within your Sharepoint environment. You require guidance on adjusting the events that occur within the Newsfeed.

  2. Select Settings Gear > Site Settings.
  3. Select NewsGator Community Configuration.
  4. Locate the "Event Receivers" section.
  5. Disable any content types that you no longer want to appear within the Stream.
