	Single-Source Documentation Concept: Otherwise, the Central Admin menu is the same as the Unit menu. To facilitate the concept of single-source documentation design, the features and functions that are identical (and thus, shared) between the two menus, the documentation exists in one place – the Unit menu topic.
	Unit Menu Topic Reference: For information about how to use all of the other functions and features in all of the various groups on the Central Admin menu, refer to the preceding menu topic, “Unit”.
