Introduction to Alfresco Explorer

The Alfresco Enterprise Content Management product is bundled and shipped along with two web-based applications. One is called Alfresco Explorer, which was formerly known as the "Web Client". In this chapter we will go through the high-level overview of Alfresco Explorer. The other web-based application is called Alfresco Share , which enables collaboration. Chapter 10, Alfresco Administration Operations Using Alfresco Share, of this book has a detailed description of Alfresco Share.

By using any web browser you can connect to the Alfresco Explorer application. You will be able to manage users, security, content, business rules, and everything related to your enterprise content stored in Alfresco through Alfresco Explorer.
