    You can also control whether the search functionality is visible to the users of your workspace experience. If you choose to display a search option, you can define what search results are returned by choosing a source for the search.

    Before you can edit the experience settings, you must be in the correct application scope. If you're in a different scope, the experience settings are read-only. To change your application scope, go to the main header, select the application picker (Application picker.), and then select the application scope that you want. For more information about the application scope, see Learn about security and roles.
