View RSS Feed in SharePoint

Many news sites, blogs, and other online information providers use Really Simple Syndication (RSS) to automatically feed information to subscribers. With Windows SharePoint Services, every SharePoint list is RSS-enabled. If you have an RSS reader (such as in Microsoft Outlook or Internet Explorer), you can view the RSS feed for a document library or list. Changes to the list content will appear in your RSS reader.

  1. Log into your SharePoint site, e.g., yourdomain.sharesrvr.com.
  2. Navigate to a page with a Shared Documents section.
  3. On the Quick Launch bar, click the Shared Documents link.
  4. Click the Actions drop-down menu, and select View RSS Feed. The RSS Feed page for the selected document library is displayed. The page provides links to each document in the library and shows the current status of each one.
     
    View RSS feed tab highlighted.
  5. Click the Subscribe to this feed link.
  6. Click the Subscribe button.
