2 Here is a summary of the steps I took to configure this XWiki website via GUI. The configurations required for your XWiki website may vary depending on your needs. The **Administration** page can be found here: Triple bar icon (upper right corner) > Administer Wiki. Here you can find the different options like **Look & Feel** or **Extensions**.

8 * Delete non-required extensions:
9 ** Extensions > Extensions > In the selection menu, select "Installed Extensions" > Search for "Tour Application", "Help Application" and "Sandbox Application" and uninstall them
10 * Upload Logo (displayed in the upper left corner of the website):
11 ** Look & Feel > Themes > Color Theme > COLOR THEME > Customize > Logos > Choose an attachment > Browse > Upload and select > Safe & View
12 * Add a tab bar below the website header:
13 ** Look & Feel > Menus > Add new entry > (create a menu, for example "Header Menu")
14 ** Add links to each bullet point so that users who click on the tab are directed to the appropriate page.
15 ** At the bottom of the Menu page: Menu Display Location = After the page header; Menu Visibility Scope = Global.
16 * Adapt navigation panel items to your needs (the boxes at the edges like "Navigation" or "Recently Created")
17 ** Look & Feel > Panels > Panel List
18 * Adapt the footer - Hide XWiki version and add copyright information.
19 ** Look & Feel > Presentation > Footer > Here you can find the fields "Copyright" and "Version".
20 ** Since an empty "Version" field results in the current XWiki version being displayed, I left the "Copyright" field empty and entered the license in the "Version" field. Here is the content of the license for this website:

26 * Change browser tab title:
27 ** Look & Feel > Presentation > Header > Title > Remove the " - XWiki"
28 ** Change favicon: Look & Feel > Themes > Skin > Customize > Edit > Logo > Choose Attachment > Browse > Select the image you want to have as a favicon. Make sure that the name of the image matches the names mentioned in the [[documentation>>http://sandbox.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+do+I+add+a+favicon+for+my+wiki]]. For example, svg files must be named "icons.xwiki.favicon.svg". > Upload and select image > Save & View
29 * Enable justification in editor:
30 ** Editing > WYSIWYG Editor >
31 *** Default WYSIWYG Editor > CKEditor > Save (Note: There are two "Save" buttons on this page.)
32 *** CKEditor > Disables Plugins > Open selection of disabled plugins > uncheck "justify" plugin > click on "Save" button **below**
33 * Disable registration of new accounts:
34 ** Users & Rights > Rights > XWikiAdminGroup > Add a check at "Register". Implicitly all other groups (including unregistered users) lose their right to register new accounts. See the [[docs>>https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Access%20Rights/]] for further details.
chrisby 1.3 35 * Allow comments feature for unregistered users:
36 ** Users & Rights > Rights > Remove the "Comment" check for each group. This implicitly allows all groups (including unregistered users) to use the comments feature.
chrisby 1.1 37 * Set up mailing:
38 ** Mail > Mail Sending > Email address to send from > (enter the necessary fields to enable XWiki's mailing functionality)
39 ** Users & Rights > Registration > User Email verification > Yes
40 * Adapt the timezone:
41 ** Content > Localization > Date/Time > Timezone
