The Connections panel allows the user to connect with other users in the system. Connecting to a user means that you will see their activity in your timeline.
Depending on your filtered selection, you can choose to view only users you are connected to, or all users on the system. Click on the filter icon to change your selection, and choose between All People or My Connections.
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.)
Depending on your settings, you may either instantly get connected to a user who Followed you, or you may first need to accept their connection.
When a user follows you, you will receive an invitation to connect with them in your timeline. If you do not accept a user’s connection request, neither side will be able to see each other’s activities in their own timelines.
Click on the sort icon to arrange your connection list is an Ascending or Descending order.
