In Application Settings, you have the flexibility to enable or disable various content types and features. This includes content like chat and spaces. You can choose from the following settings:

  • On: Activates the feature in the top-level community and allows spaces to enable or disable the feature.
  • Off: Disables the feature in both the top-level community and in spaces.
  • Only in Spaces: Disables the feature in the top-level community but allows spaces to enable the feature.

Note: The "top-level community" refers to the entire scope of your intranet. In contrast, "spaces" are sub-communities. Content in private spaces is only visible to its members, whereas top-level content is accessible to everyone through the Browse menu.

To access Application Settings, click the gear icon from the homepage, then click Control Panel > System > Application Settings.
