Working With Wikis

Add and Edit Pages

There are two ways to add pages to a wiki.
1. The first way to add a new page is to open the wiki. Go to the page where you want to add a link to a new page. Scroll down to the very bottom. Type the name of the page in the “Create new page” text box and press “Create”. A link to the new page will be automatically added to the bottom of the current page.
   
2. The second way to add a new page is to create a link by typing double brackets around any word or phrase in the wiki.
   
   After saving the page, click on the link you created. A message will appear that reads, “This page does not yet exist in the wiki. Would you like to create it?” Click the “Create page” button.
   
3. Type the content for the new page in the “Content” Content Manager.



4. Use the “Attachments” File Uploader to attach files to the wiki page.
5. Click the “Preview” button to see what the page will look like before you publish it.
6. Click “Save changes” to publish the page.
7. If you want to create separate sections within your wiki pages, type the name of a section into the “Add new section to this page” text box at the bottom.



8. To edit a page, navigate to the page you want to edit and click the “Edit” button at the top or click the “Edit page” link beneath the page title.
   
9. To edit a section, click the “Edit section” button next to the section title.
