#  Setting up the Integration

Enable Safe Publish through the Integration Center in the VIP Dashboard. Any application
in the organization can be connected, and configuration can start from either the
source or the destination.

 1. In the VIP Dashboard, select the application, then select the environment to configure
    from the environment switcher.
 2. Select **Integrations**, then select Safe Publish to open its **Configure Integration**
    page.
 3. Enable **Activate Integration**. Activating the Integration loads Safe Publish 
    in the current environment.
 4. Under **Configuration**, set **Connected application** and **Connected environment**
    to the environment this one exchanges content with.
 5. Set **Sync mode** to **Import**, if this site is the destination.
 6. Leave **Use Basic Authentication** disabled unless the connected site is protected
    by HTTP Basic Authentication.
 7. Select **Save Configuration**.

Changes can take a few minutes to apply.

The other environment is configured automatically. Activating the Integration provisions
the shared secret that signs requests between the two sites and copies it to the
connected environment, so both ends always hold the same value.

On WordPress multisite, activation and settings are configured per network site.
Activating at the environment level is not enough. Configure a connection for each
network site that needs it.
