The Higher Logic Thrive Community model was the natural evolution of, and is built on, our flagship community product: Higher Logic Online Community (now, simply, Higher Logic Community).
Many of the modules, features, and tools that are available in Higher Logic Thrive Community originated in Higher Logic Community. Because of this, the documentation for these features, modules, and tools is in the Higher Logic Community category of our knowledge base (on the left in the image below).
As a Higher Logic Thrive Community customer, you should use both of the "community" categories in the knowledge base to manage your community site.
This article lists many of the modules, features, and tools that are available in your community site, and provides links to the respective articles.
