# System Setup and Configuration

System Setup and Configuration controls the overall operation of Ripplestone. Changes to these options affect all users. System Setup and Configuration consists of five main subjects:

- System Configuration

  System Configuration is a series of processing options that control how Ripplestone works.

- Appearance

  These settings control the appearance of the web pages.

- Publishing Options

  During the publishing process, the person publishing a document has the option to fill in additional information about the document. You can require the user to fill in some or all of this additional information by changing these settings.

- Trouble Shooting

  Unless asked to by technical support, there is normally no reason to change the default settings (off) for the trouble shooting options.

- License Key

  This is where you enter the product key you received when you purchased Ripplestone.
