;__Overview__:The main administration page for configuring your Tiki and accessing each feature

#Use the __Preference Filters__ to show only features of a specific level or type:
**Basic
**Advanced
**Experimental
**Unavailable
__Basic__ features are probably needed for most Tiki sites. __Advanced__ features may be for more specific use cases or require more expertise. __Experimental__ features include recently introduced features that may not be complete or bug-free, and also features that may be redundant or retired soon. __Unavailable__ features are those that aren't functional due to the server configuration, etc. of the particular Tiki installation.

Use the __Configuration Search__ to quickly find any of Tiki's more than 1,000 configuration options.
The most common features can be accessed by clicking the appropriate icon. Inactive features are ghosted, or grayed out. Go to the Features page (tiki-admin.php?page=features) to activate them.

This is the main page for configuring your Tiki, which is reached at __your URL/tiki-admin.php__. The most commonly used features are represented by icons on this page. If the feature is inactive, the background is grey. The screenshot below shows a TikiWiki version 3.0 panel with the ((Articles)) feature deactivated and all the rest activated.

Clicking on the Features icon will take you to the ((Features Admin)) page, where you can activate or deactivate any of Tiki's features, including features that are not shown on the main page.  Clicking on the other icons will take you to the configuration page for that feature or utility.
