The Industry Hubs are live!
We are beyond thrilled to announce the launch of the Industry Hubs, marking a huge leap forward in our modernization journey! The Industry Hubs feature brand-new experiences and components that bring meaningful content to the forefront, organizing our product forums by industry.
Why are Industry Hubs important?
Through extensive content and community experience audits, we discovered valuable industry viewpoints, product learning materials, and pre-purchase resources were being shared in forum topics. Because they were all published in the same format, it made these resources difficult to find. To address this, we launched an Industry Hubs experience which surfaces the variety of resources customers may seek, along with new ways to discover more.
Features included in the release:
- New Industry Hubs Experiences: Showcasing activities and resources across related products within respective industries.
- Visually Engaging Homepage: A refreshed and captivating homepage that displays the product forums by industry
- "All Communities" Page: Directory to make it easy to find all the product forums in our community
- Modernized User Group Directory: Effortlessly find both Autodesk-led and Customer-led user groups.
- Community-wide Secondary Navigation: Improved navigation for easy access to all our community destinations, including Gallery and AU Online.
