Summary

This command is not a command in the usual sense, but rather gives access to a sub-menu of commands for signing in/accessing a managed content server, as well as accessing license management, and extensions and updates. Its associated button reflects the user that is currently signed in to a managed content server.

Access

This command is accessed by clicking the  button, at the top-right of the main application window.

If a user is already signed in to a managed content server, the button will reflect that user (e.g. ).
