Some things you can do right now in Network Admin with Jetpack

• Bulk Connect / Disconnect from WordPress.com • Option to allow individual site administrators to

manage their own connections to WordPress.com

Some things we’re working on• Better Multisite module management (share

module active/inactive status across sites) • Multisite stats: an overview of the stats across

your network • Let us know if you have any multisite feature

requests! !
