UI and other enhancements in Community module

The Community module has undergone a UI revamp to improve user experience. In addition, we have introduced Status Board and Bulk Approval of posts to provide better engagement.
Improved User Interface
The new interface brings the following benefits:
- Accessibility: Improved accessibility to ensure that the agents can navigate the community module at ease.
- Enhanced navigation: Redesigned menus and controls that make it simpler for agents to find what they want.
- Engagement: The improved layout and features encourage agents to explore more, increasing overall interaction with the platform.
Home page
The community home page is updated with elaborate information of the posts.
The following information can be seen for all the posts in the classic view.
- Forum title

The right pane provides the detailed information about the post.
The post type, replies received for that post, and the insights received are available in the right pane. The agents can perform actions like Edit, follow, move the topic type, and so on by clicking the More icon (

Editor
The WYSIWYG editor provides more formatting options.

Bulk moderate or approve posts
The waiting for approval and reported spam options have been given an upgrade.
Clicking on a post that is awaiting approval or is marked as spam will provide a quick view of the content, name of the agent who created the post, and the name of the agent who updated it recently.
The moderators can use the Approve All option to select and approve all the posts that are awaiting moderation.

Currently, while replying to a ticket, it is possible for agents to choose their own email addresses as 'from' addresses.

Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents. During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions aboutEdit and Delete options in Comments
A lot of teams have been using ticket comments extensively to collaborate everyday. Notification Center further improved this experience by bringing real-time updates.
