# <center>Testing the new front-end features </center>

___

Hello my dear friends a pleasure to greet you, it is always great to participate with all the dapps of the hive.
___
And today we are going to give you a small tour of the desktop interface in its new presentation, for short messages.
___
As many already know, improvements are being made within the different applications of the hive and one of them is the ability to interact with short messages, very similar to twitter.
___
Our friends at @ecency already have their functionality active for this modality, if you didn't know it, come and I'll tell you a little bit about it. 
___

___
The first step is to connect to your PC hahaha, at the top you will see an addition that says **MAZOS**, just click on it, as you can see in the image above. 
___

___
Immediately you will be redirected to the new function, there you will see on the left side a vertical panel with several options, click on the small pencil and enter 
___

___
Now just write your short message and hit publish, it's as simple as that.
Remember to be precise in what you want to say, they are few characters, but enough to place your most relevant tags (depending on the content) you can even share a link or a photo. 
___
![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNweZFSfpN39ECV8NXr6oysmPYNVEDEa76xeBQAYKgVxt/test_3_.gif)
___
Remember to use appropriate tags, so your message will be successful!
Another option you have in this step is to turn your message into a publication if you exceed the number of characters, just click on the bottom and it will change to **publication** mode instantly. 
___

___
If you decide to place an image, just upload it from your personal files, it will take a few seconds and you will have the photo loaded in your message very quickly.

___
If we click on the small bell it will display the notifications on the right side, with the sub options and settings for them, without having to leave the interface. 
___
![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUGooB2LcDAufXoTEkVvq2nZLekB4V8RXd75cD5T9DJ8V/test_7_.gif)

___
Then below the notifications we will find a small rocket that will give us the option to boost by scanning a QR code. 
___

___
The next option will take you directly to your ecency wallet, where you can view your points, HBD, HIVE and more. 

Then there is the pencil, under the wallet, which we already know is for short messages. 😜
___

___
Now we are going to see a small symbol (+) which is to create the decks. This is an option to create user groups or communities or very specific content.
___
Clicking there opens the option to create the deck, you must give it a specific name, such as: photography, food, games, etc, you can add an emoji with which you can identify the content for that particular deck.
___
![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfXy3dKEpLPV4eYjc99uyVHxbfGZNfSHtdGQRr9BCAnjZ/test_11_.gif)
___
Once you have created your decks, just click on the corresponding emoji and start adding the users you want to follow more closely. 
___

___
If we want to add another user, we click on add another column and enter the name and the content we want to see, it can be their blog, comments or just their posts in general.
___
![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcuPXjjAasT7qGztV3pW4XPcjSnarG4vCkC9xJq5AnZ43/test_13_.gif)
___
Every time you add a column, it gives you the same options either to add a user or a community, we can also put only see short comments, you configure it as you like best. 
___
Once the decks are ready, we can see the chosen contents vertically, in each column individually 
___
It is a very useful tool to follow your favorite users.
___
Now that you know how it all works, it's time to have fun and comment.
