Configuration

Introduction

The Streams Platform comes configured in such a way that you likely do not need to modify it in most cases.

Settings Module

Many of these configurations are bound to settings and can be controlled from the Control Panel.

Preferences Module

Some of these configurations are bound to user specific preferences as well and can also be controlled from the Control Panel.
