Talking about web pages

When you're on any web page, you can open Jive Anywhere and see what everyone in your community is saying about that page. Of course, you will only see content in places you have access to.

If you need help navigating Jive Anywhere, take a quick tour before you begin using it. For more information, see Quick visual tour.
