Changes in Jive 9
- Analytics improvements (Cloud Service)
- Engagement Analytics now provides three additional reports: User to User Interaction chart, Engagement Index, and the Daily Active Users/ Monthly Active Users. These charts tell you more about how active and engaged your community is, and how groups interact with each other. For more information about these chart, see the Jive Analytics Help.
- Bulk content management
- You can now make bulk changes to content items with the Bulk Manage Content feature. For more information on how to use this feature and what it offers, see Making bulk changes to content in places.
- Jive Daily Hosted improvements
- Jive Daily Hosted is now available for hosted and on-premise communities and compatible with Jive 9. For more information about changes to the app, see Release Notes – Jive Daily Hosted on Worx. For more information on how to use Jive Daily Hosted, see the Jive Daily Integrated Help.
- Copy document
- Documents now have a Copy Document action that creates a new piece of content from an existing document. It copies the title, body, and publishing information (place, category, tags) from the original document. Documents can be copied as a new document, discussion, or blog post. This is a great way to make templates for others to use.
- Mixed mode authentication
- Jive now supports mixed-mode authentication when SSO is enabled. This feature is useful for communities that may include users managed in Active Directory or another directory service, but also include participation from users who are not federated. Unlike the Externally Accessible groups feature, which grants users access only to specific private groups but not the rest of community content, Mixed Mode allows external users to be granted full or partial community access based on Jive permission groups. For more information, see Mixed-mode authentication.
- New Jive Developer Tools: Simple Stream Builder
- We now provide a Simple Stream Builder tool to help you build add-ons. For more information, see Introducing the New Simple Stream Builder on Worx.

- Apps Market EOL
- We are removing the ability for customers to download Apps via the Apps Market in Jive 9.0.0. Apps will continue to function and be available for download via the Add-ons page. No functionality will be lost. During the upgrade process all downloaded apps will be converted to Add-ons. The Apps menu item will still be displayed and Apps will continue to function should customers have dependencies on those Apps. For more information, see Apps market EOL in Jive 9 on Worx.
- Deal Room add-on
- We are deprecating the Deal Room add-on as of July 2017. Please use the Salesforce Chatter add-on to enrich your Jive Activity stream with content from Salesforce.
