I noticed that the documentation talks about bootstrap CSS changes etc for the portal UI but the spec says that LnF is available in the Enterprise version. So quick question, can I follow the Manage Look and Feel documentation in 7.1 to change the LnF in the Community Edition?

Q1: can I follow the Manage Look and Feel documentation in 7.1 to change the LnF in the Community Edition?
No…
But here is the text from a Bonita provided readme.txt file regarding LnF in Community.

This is a look & feel archive for Bonita BPM Portal.
There are two types of page in the Portal: pages developed with GWT, as in earlier versions, and new pages that have been developed using Angular. The two types of page have different mechanisms for defining Look & Feel.
This means that in some cases, you might need to specify a Look & Feel element in two places to get a consistent look for your Portal and custom pages.
For GWT pages, the most critical file in the Look & Feel definition is skin/skin.config.less file. For pages developed in Angular, the Look & Feel is defined using Bootstrap. To modify the Look & Feel of these pages, update the skin definition in skin\bootstrap\portal for Portal pages or in skin\bootstrap\applications for applications.
