# Introduction to Q&A

> Overview of the integrated questions and answers functionality

<Info>This feature is only available in Standard Data Rooms.</Info>

The integrated Q\&A functionality allows you to administer questions and answers directly through the data room.
The Q\&A functionality is well integrated with the data room as files and folders can be attached to questions and answers.

The Q\&A functionality is optional and can be turned on (or off) for each individual data room.
This may be done at the time of data room creation or at a later stage in the Administration Interface.
Q\&A rights can be set on a granular level, and you may customize which users can ask questions.

Each question is assigned to a category, and the responsibility for answering a question is determined by the [Q\&A pipeline](/qa/qa-pipeline), which is specific to each category.

[Q\&A rights](/qa/qa-rights) and [Q\&A pipelines](/qa/qa-pipeline) are administered on the **Q\&A** page of the **Administration Interface**.

In data rooms for which Q\&A has been enabled, a Q\&A button is visible below the folder tree.
Pressing the button makes the Q\&A panel appear.
