Add Friends
You can invite anyone to be your Friend from several places throughout Scholar:
- From their Profile page - Add as Friend button at the top of the profile >>More on how to view Profiles (link to page)
- From any User Search results - all results to a User Search will give you the option to add each of the users in the results as Friends (if they are not already your Friend)
- From your Favorites or Fans tabs in your Network - within your Network, you have the ability to add users as Friends that are your Favorites or Fans by clicking the "Add as Friend" in their listing
Once you add someone as a Friend via any of the ways above, this will generate an email invitation, as well as a notification within Scholar to that user. The user must then accept your invitation to become Friends and be added to your Network. If the user rejects your invitation, s/he will not be added to your Network as a Friend.
