Resharing to Your Profile, a Group, or a Friend

The Reshare option lets you repost any activity inside your community without leaving the site. The original content is preserved and attributed to its author; your reshare appears in the feed with a note showing who shared it.

You must be logged in to reshare.

How resharing works

When you reshare an activity:

1. A new activity entry appears in the feed from your account (or in the group you chose).
2. The original activity content is embedded in your reshare.
3. A “shared an activity” label connects your name to the original.
4. The share count on the original activity goes up by one.

Your administrator chooses whether reshares show only the original content (Simple view) or the full nested detail (Detailed view). That setting is site-wide; you cannot change it per reshare.

Step by step

1. Find the activity you want to reshare.
2. Click the Share button in the activity’s action bar.
3. Click Reshare at the top of the Share menu.
4. The Reshare modal opens, showing your profile photo and name.

Choose where to post

Use the Post in dropdown to pick a destination:

Option	Who sees the reshare
My Profile	Anyone who can view your profile’s activity feed
A group (by name)	Members of that group
A friend (by name)	Appears as a mention in the main activity stream

The dropdown lists only groups you belong to and only confirmed friends. If your site does not have the Groups or Friends components active, those options do not appear.

Add a message (optional)

Below the destination selector is a text area for your own comment. This is optional; you can reshare without adding anything.

Post the reshare

Click Post. The modal closes and the reshare appears in the chosen location. To cancel before posting, click Discard.

When reshare destinations are missing

An administrator can turn off individual reshare destinations:

• If User Profiles resharing is off, the Reshare button does not appear on profile pages.
• If Groups resharing is off, the Groups option is removed from the Post in dropdown.
• If Friends resharing is off, the Friends option is removed from the Post in dropdown.

If none of the three destinations are available, the Reshare button does not appear at all.

What cannot be reshared

Blog post activities can be blocked from resharing by the administrator (Restrictions tab, Blog Posts). When that is on, blog-type activities do not have a Reshare button.
