Entities is not visible under Power Apps

Hi - we have Customer Service Professional subscription.

I'm still trying to figure out how to see the posts that mention me and trying to locate the "what's new" page. And on a side-thread I am trying to get the list of posts on a view somewhere but I cannot find the name of the entity for the Post. I know the API refers to it as Post but under the Customization / Entities list there is no such thing. Notes is there, Post is not! So I wanted to reverse-engineer. Look at the Timeline display under a Case, find which entities it displays and hunt for the Post. Of course that didn't yield anything productive. Meanwhile I found this 

Configure Timeline | Microsoft Docs

It says there's a Data / Entities under Power Apps. Well, there isn't!

What's New page is nowhere to be found.
Post entity is nowhere to be found.
Entities item is nowhere to be found.

Mystery deepens. Can anybody help me, please? Maybe I need to turn it on?

    Hi _icy_,

    Post as an Entity is not visible in customization, but you can view it in advance find.

    Then you can view posts view after clicking 'results' button.

    However, current view can't provide import information about post, so you need back to original query page to add columns to the default view.

    then click 'Results' button again.

    Hi,

    Can you check if Posts are enabled and active for the entities you are looking for? You can check that by navigating to Advanced Options >> Setting area >> Activity Feeds Configuration.

    What's New Dashboard will only be visible if that is added to the app. Please make sure that you have checked it under the dashboard of your respective app under My Apps area.
