Summary


In this chapter, we explored some (but not all) of the functions in Drupal core that are not enabled during the Standard installation. These are areas that may not be needed for every site, but are worthy of exploring and understanding.

You now know how to use the built-in Forum capabilities and how to aggregate content from another site.

Drupal core is deliberately lean in its functionality —attempting to only include the most common website functionality. The power of Drupal 8 is that you can extend this functionality with modules from the community or those you create yourself. We will explore extending Drupal further in Chapter 12, Extending Drupal.

In Chapter 11, Reports, we'll complete our journey through the main sections of the Drupal 8 administration interface looking at the Reports section.
