viewing.
Use the following steps to create a discussion and get people talking about a web page. For
more information about getting around Jive Anywhere, see Quick visual tour.
Note: If your community has the Existing Discussion feature, the Discuss tab will turn yellow
when a page is already being discussed in your community.
