To activate the Warpwire Tool, click "Site Info" in the left side navigation menu.

The Manage Tools page has an alphabetical list of features that are available in the Sakai course. Scroll to the bottom and check the "Warpwire" box. It may be found within the "External Tools" section depending on how it's installed. Then click "Continue."
