Edit a Page

Click the 'Edit Page' button in the upper right hand corner.

Adding Content

When you click the 'Edit Page' button, you will see a basic editing toolbar. To format text, highlight the text and then choose the element from the toolbar. You can make the text appear in Bold, Italics or Underlined by clicking the B, I or U buttons, change the color and font by clicking the button with the T on it, apply various Heading Styles by using the drop down menu and apply numbered or bulleted lists by clicking the appropriate buttons. You can also add a horizontal line.

Linking

You can create links to pages within your wiki or you can link to outside locations.

Note: Creating a link in a wiki is a little different than simply typing the URL like you do in Microsoft Word. You must use the Link button.

External Links

To create a link to an outside website:

1. Choose the Link button in the toolbar
2. Select External Link
3. Type the link text and the web address in the appropriate boxes
4. Click the 'Add Link' button.

Insert Files and Images

1. Click the 'File' button on the toolbar.
2. Click the 'Upload Files' button. Navigate to the file or image that you would like to add.
3. The file or image will appear in the list on the left (see illustration above). When it is done uploading, click on it to insert it into your wiki.
