Admin guide
This guide is for admins: the people who set a site up and decide how it works. Admins can do everything editors can, so for pages, images, forms and publishing, see the Editor guide. This guide covers what only admins can change.
The ? button at the top of every admin screen brings admins here, and editors to the Editor guide.
