Topic Configuration
All microposts belong to a topic to improve the information structure of your microblog.
In the Confluence administration you can configure the topic structure under Microblog → Topics.

If you want to remove a topic there are two ways of dealing with the microposts within this topic.

Permission Configuration
In earlier versions of the Microblogging add-on, the permission to post or answer was directly tied to the permission to add pages to the respective space. Beginning with version 2.5, as an admin you now can select, which space permission you want the microblogging to be tied to:
- Permission to add pages to the respective space (default)
- Permission to add comments in the respective space

The setting you choose here will apply to all spaces within your Confluence instance.

There is a scheduled job for sending out the microblog daily digest.
