Important Pulse is deprecated in Flare, which means that it is slated to be removed in a future version.

AVAILABLE TO: Administrators and Employees

The Articles app gives you the ability to read the articles that have been posted to a specific group, tag, topic, or user feed. In addition, it gives you the ability to edit the articles you've posted to a feed. If you post an article, you have the ability to delete it. If you are a member of the Administrators group, you can also delete the articles that others post. To learn how to post an article, see Posting Articles.
