====Sending a Share or Message to a Group====

By default, ARDI has you sending messages to [[group|groups]] rather than individuals, so sending messages to a group doesn't require you to do anything special.

The steps are as follows....

1) Press the 'Collaboration' icon

2) Choose 'Groups' to open the group list. (If you want to send a message to everyone in the default group, skip ahead to step 5)
