Updates
Name Change: Discussions → Posts
We’ve updated the terminology for community posts to make things clearer. Previously, we referred to all post types (Discussions, Questions, Ideas, and Polls) under the umbrella term Discussions, which caused some confusion. Moving forward, we’re using Posts as the general term, with each type clearly defined as a separate post type (e.g., Discussion, Question, Idea, Poll). You may have noticed some updates to pages and settings as part of this transition. While most areas have been updated, you may still see "Discussion" in some places as we complete the change.
