NOTE: When adding a source or managing source configuration, the most commonly used source settings are displayed by default. However, some source types have additional configuration options that can be displayed by clicking the Advanced Settings ("wrench" icon). You can allow these advanced settings to be always shown to authorized users. See Users and Security Settings for more information.

Modify Source Settings​

To edit configuration settings for the certain source, select the source and go to the corresponding tab, e.g. Box or SharePoint. Then you can, in particular, specify Write configuration (i.e. "tagging") settings and apply source-specific parameters. See Use Tagging for more information.
