Managing Questions and Answers

edit - edit the Q&A.

delete - permanently delete the Q&A.

insert after - add a new Q&A after this one in the list.

swap with next - reorder the Q&As by swapping this question with the following one.

Permissions

To configure the permissions, go to the administration pages for your website, select the Content Management tab, and then the Applications page. Click the Permissions button next to the application in the list. For further details of how to use Permissions, see the Permissions section of the manual.
