## Chapter 3. Work with Activities

All activities of users are displayed in user's or Space's Activity Streams.

To enter Activities, hover your cursor over your display name (for example, John Smith) on the Administration bar and select Activity Streams.

In Activity Streams, you can follow various activities, including:

- All updates related to users who have registered in your system in the All Updates tab.

- All updates of users who have establised their connections with you in the Network Updates tab.

- All updates of spaces where you are a member or a manager in the Space Updates tab.

- All your own activities in the My Status tab, such as your profile updates, link updates or another activities pushed by yourself.

You can see activities of any registered people by clicking their usernames. However, for people to whom you have not connected, you only can view their activities but cannot post any activities, comments or likes on their spaces.
