Administering Social Squared

To administer Social Squared, you must activate the Social Squared Forums site collection feature, on at least one site collection. The Social Squared Forums site collection feature, when activated, adds:

• A set of links, under the section heading, Social Squared Forum, on the Site Settings page.
  
  
• The Lightning Tools Web Parts category in the Web Part gallery, if it does not already exist, and displays the Social Squared Forums Web Part in that category.
  

Once the Social Squared Forums collection feature is activated, you can administer Social Squared using any site in that site collection, where you will see on the Site Settings page, a heading Social Squared Forum. Under the Social Squared Forum, you can use the following links to administer Social Squared:
