# Student post feed

> How students view posts: the feed, cohort filtering, post details, attachments, and lesson links.

Students see published posts from their enrolled cohorts in a dedicated post feed on the student dashboard. This guide describes what students see and how they interact with posts.

## Where to find it

Go to [**Student Dashboard → Posts**](https://firstrespondershub.com/student-dashboard/posts). The post feed shows all published posts from cohorts the student is enrolled in.

## The post feed

The feed is divided into two sections:

* **Pinned posts** — Posts pinned by the instructor appear at the top, highlighted so they stand out.
* **Recent posts** — All other published posts, sorted by newest first.

Each post in the feed shows:

* Post title
* Author name
* Program name
* Publication date (e.g. "2 hours ago")
* **Edited** badge, if the post was updated after publishing
* Content preview (first 150 characters)
* Attachment and lesson link counts

## Filtering by cohort

If a student is enrolled in more than one cohort, a **cohort filter** appears at the top of the feed. Use it to show posts from all programs or from a specific program.

## Post detail view

Click a post to open the full detail view. The detail page shows:

* **Title** and publication date
* **Author** and program/cohort name
* **Edited** badge (if applicable)
* **Full post content** with all formatting, images, and links

### Downloading attachments

If the post has file attachments, they appear in an **Attachments** section below the content. Each attachment shows the file name and size. Click the **download** button to save the file.

### Lesson links

If the post links to specific lessons, they appear in a **Lesson Links** section. Each link shows the course, module, and lesson name. Click a lesson link to navigate directly to that lesson in your course view.

## Recent posts on the dashboard home

The student dashboard home page includes a **Recent Posts** section that shows the latest posts across all enrolled cohorts. Click a post to go to its detail view, or click through to the full post feed.
