Follow Users

To follow or connect with a user, ensure you have selected All People as your filter connection. This will display everyone in your Connection list. Then click on the Follow button of a user to whom you wish to be connected with.

Once you click Follow, the user will be added to your Connections list. (See the Accept Connections section.)
