Manage Knowledge Search with the Search Admin tool

Configure and manage Knowledge Search content sources for your organization. Control which sources are available to users and restrict content.
The
Search Admin
tool serves as a central point for administrators to manage content displayed in
Knowledge Search
across all CoCounsel touchpoints. Administrators' decisions influence all areas where
Knowledge Search
appears.
For more information on the tool, go to this common questions article.
Using the
Knowledge Search
administrative controls in CoCounsel, administrators can manage the following across all CoCounsel touchpoints:
  • Determine which sources are available to users of the
    Knowledge Search
    (for example, iManage, Practical Law, Outlook).
  • Limit certain sources, such as SharePoint, to specific sites and/or folders.
  • Configure on-premises sources with additional parameters needed for connection.
