Welcome!
If you're seeing this text instead of the web site you were expecting, the owner of this web site has just installed Plone. Do not contact the Plone Team or the Plone support channels about this.
Get started
Before you start exploring your newly created Plone site, please do the following:
- Make sure you are logged in as an admin/manager user. You should have a Site Setup entry in the user menu.
- Set up your mail server. Plone needs a valid SMTP server to verify users and send out password reminders.
- Decide what security level you want on your site. Allow self registration, password policies, and more.
Get comfortable
After that, we suggest you do one or more of the following:
- Get the latest news about Plone.
- Read the documentation.
- Follow a training.
- Explore the available add-ons for Plone.
- Read or subscribe to the support channels.
Make it your own
Plone has many settings to make it do what you want. Some examples include:
- Try out a different theme, either pick from the included ones, or one of the available themes from plone.org. Make sure the theme is compatible with the version of Plone you are currently using.
- Decide what kind of workflow you want in your site. The default is typical for a public web site; if you want to use Plone as a closed intranet or extranet, you can choose a different workflow.
- By default, Plone uses a visual editor for content. If you prefer text-based syntax and/or wiki syntax, you can change this in the markup control panel
- …and many more settings are available in the Site Setup.
