Starting with the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs-old.exoplatform.org\/public\/index.jsp?topic=%2FPLF42%2FeXoAddonsGuide.Chat.PLFServerSetup.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eXo Platform server setup<\/a>, you will understand what an administrator needs to prepare for the Chat server stack. As an end user, you may ignore the server setup but focus on what is said in How to Use. Following the step-by-step instructions here, you will realize that collaboration has never been as easy as when you\u2019re using eXo Chat \u2013 it\u2019s very simple to change your status, to send instant messages to your contacts or your spaces, to create new group chats, and even to make video calls directly in the chat windows.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the whole content of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs-old.exoplatform.org\/public\/index.jsp?topic=%2FPLF44%2FeXoAddonsGuide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IDE<\/a> has been moved to this guide. By walking through this chapter, you will easily understand how to use this add-on efficiently, from the very first steps regarding installation and access to basic and advanced actions.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/docs-old.exoplatform.org\/public\/index.jsp?topic=\/PLF50\/PLFAdminGuide.Database.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Administrator Guide<\/a><br \/>\nMinor but significant updates to Upgrade and Configuration<\/h2>\n<p>If you are about to upgrade to 4.1.0, it&#8217;s the right time! Configurations have been widely simplified since 4.0.7, so it&#8217;s important that you take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.exoplatform.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Upgrade chapter<\/a> again.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, as part of the simplified configurations, the namespace of external properties has been changed to <span class=\"navCode\">exo.<\/span>. We hope that the new property names are now easier to manage for administrators. If you\u2019re not yet familiar with these changes, don\u2019t worry \u2013 we have prepared for it with a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs-old.exoplatform.org\/public\/index.jsp?topic=%2FPLF43%2FPLFAdminGuide.Configuration.eXoConfiguration.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mapping between old and new names<\/a>.
