through various social media websites. When you publish the selected content
you can also publicize the event by posting a message through sites such as
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
This task assumes you are in the library of the desired site and that publishing
channels are available. The system administrator selects, configures, and manages the
publishing channels in the Admin Console.
