No matter where you are inside your Intranet, you will never be lost. From general applications to your personal Dashboard, everything is only one or two mouse clicks away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1.png\" alt=\"image1\" width=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1.png 939w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-720x376.png 720w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-500x261.png 500w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-360x188.png 360w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-200x104.png 200w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-100x52.png 100w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image1-57x30.png 57w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But even more than that, we always give you a personalized view of your current context. For example, if you\u2019re inside a Space, we show the Space\u2019s secondary navigation as part of its context.<\/p>\n<p>As a Collaborative Platform since 2008, we have learned a great deal from our users&#8217; and customers&#8217; feedback. eXo Platform 4 is a giant step forward. It\u2019s more user-friendly, easier to use as a day-to-day Social Intranet, and more sexy (because sexy doesn\u2019t hurt).<\/p>\n<h2>General Navigation<\/h2>\n<p>General Navigation is of course your main access to collaboration with other Intranet users. You have access to Wiki, Forums, Calendars, and Documents right out of the box.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2.png\" alt=\"image2\" width=\"491\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2.png 491w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2-360x207.png 360w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2-200x115.png 200w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2-100x58.png 100w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image2-52x30.png 52w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Because eXo Platform leverages a strong Portal foundation with its GateIn portal integration (codeveloped with Red Hat\/JBoss &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jboss.org\/gatein\" target=\"_blanck\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">https:\/\/www.jboss.org\/gatein<\/a>), you can even integrate your existing applications into your Social Intranet. They will be accessible just like any other built-in application. For example, in the screenshot above the Community Chat add-on application is integrated into the General Navigation.<\/p>\n<h2>Space Navigation<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, what would eXo Platform be without Spaces? Spaces are places where you can work together, share documents among collaborators, etc. You can build Spaces for project management (invite your colleagues on this new project you\u2019re starting and be ready to work together), for different Business Units (human resources, sales, marketing), or for Community Places (public discussion, sports group, etc.).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3.png\" alt=\"image3\" width=\"612\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3.png 612w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3-452x328.png 452w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3-325x236.png 325w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3-181x131.png 181w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3-100x73.png 100w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image3-41x30.png 41w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The important thing is that you have immediate access to your Spaces and applications. With the new Space filter, you can search and find one of your Spaces in seconds. And because you can be a member of dozens of Spaces, the most used ones appear at the top of the list, allowing you to easily find and switch between them.<\/p>\n<h2>User Menu<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, since each user can now create his or her own Wiki page, we decided to add a dedicated context for users. For instance, you can access your personal place from the top menu bar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4998\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41.png\" alt=\"image4\" width=\"521\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41.png 521w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41-430x328.png 430w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41-310x236.png 310w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41-172x131.png 172w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41-100x76.png 100w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image41-39x30.png 39w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, as with Spaces, there is a secondary navigation where you can update your profile, check your Activity stream, manage connections, edit Wiki pages, or create your own Dashboard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5.png\" alt=\"image5\" width=\"521\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5.png 521w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5-500x250.png 500w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5-360x180.png 360w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5-200x100.png 200w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5-100x50.png 100w, https:\/\/www.exoplatform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/image5-60x30.png 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course it works for you, but it also works for others.
