Activity A useful activity stream which provides an at-a-glance look at activity from across the site, as well as your friends' activity and your own actions. You can filter the activity stream to only include particular tools or types of action, making this a powerful addition to your social network. Optionally, your activity stream can be the first port of call for users logging into the site - or you can use it alongside the community site's widget-based dashboard. Users will be presented with the site's newest members and can post directly tothe wire.

Profile The community site comes with a set of default profile fields which can be extended or completely changed by the site administrator. Using the communitysite's powerful widget framework, users can select from a bank of available widgets to create a full and rich profile. A communitysite profile acts as a great overview of a site member, pulling together their activity from the site, as well as from external sources.

Notifications You can keep track of what your friends are doing through the notification method of your choice. Choose whose activity you want to subscribe to, and have it delivered using the notification method of your choice. Email and internal messaging are supporting out of the box, and further methods can be added via plugins.

Groups Users can create groups around a particular topic and take advantage of a collaborative group discussion area, group files and group pages. You can create open groups that anyone can join, and closed groups, where membership is requested first and accepted or denied by the group owner.

Blog The community site has a blogging tool with some useful added features: Save a draft (with autosave)CategoriesConversation togglePreviewRich media embedding (see below)

Embed media The new media embed feature allows users to easily include their photos, audio snippets and files within blog posts, pages, comments, discussion topic and profile fields.The modal window allows your users to upload resources and get access to the files they need while constructing their content.

Files The community site comes equipped with a full file repository that will handle a wide variety of data including photos, word documents, audio files, videos, PDFs and more. You can easily flip between lists of files and image galleries, in order to comfortably find the item you're looking for.Users can display their latest files on their profile and - using the media embed tool - embed any file into their content.

The wire The wire brings microblogging to the core community site like having your own personal Twitterservice. Users can post to the wire via the site and SMS (through an optional extra).You can push wire posts out to Twitter so your users can localise usage while still taking advantage of their Twitter account - or you can deploy this to your intranet in order to allow your employees to keep up to date with their colleagues' current status.

Pages
The pages plugin allows you to save and store hierarchically-organized pages of text, and control who can read and write to them. This means that you can collaboratively create a set of documents with a loose collection of people, participate in a writing process with a formal group, or simply use the functionality to write a document that only you can see, and only choose to share it once it's done.

Dashboard
The community site ships with a flexible user dashboard, which can be replaced by the activity view if required. The dashboard acts as a user's personal portal to the site, displaying information - both from the site and external sources - that they select.

Social bookmarking
The community site provides users with a simple social bookmarking tool. Using a button that users can place on their browser toolbar, it is easy to bookmark and share resources from all over the web.

Categories
The site administrator can set site-wide categories. These categories are then available for users to use when creating a new blog post, uploading files or constructing pages. A great way to provide some loose structure.

Access
The community site has always had powerful, granular, access controls for users.. Users can restrict their content to be only read by people they mark as a friend from any tool in the site. We've also introduced a a user-defined default setting (providing administrators allow users to set one) that will apply to all their content.
