Manually posting a plan topic to the board

1. Go to the board Workspace by either accessing the board workspace tab in the administration or log in to the board with a Moderator's login.
2. Select the plan topic name in the Moderator's control column on the right-hand side of the workspace.
3. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to have the board topic posted.
4. Once you have confirmed, the selected topic will be posted to the board and the topic will be displayed on the board. Please note: All participants will receive notification that the topic has been posted only if you have chosen this option when setting up the board.
   
5. Once posted the plan topic is added to Plan History section.
6. Participants are immediately able to post a comment under the plan topic.

There is a 5 minute buffer time between activation and email notifications. This is to allow for the aggregation of plan topics into one email notification - if a more than one topic is activated within a ten minute period. This process ensures that a participant only gets one topic email notification listing all plan topics posted to the board within a ten minute period.
