Tutorial: How to Create/Edit a Page

Here's a simple tutorial on creating pages.

Step 1: Log into your site. ( top )

You need to be logged into the site in order to make any changes.

Step 2: Create / Edit your page ( top )

If you want to create a new page:

1. Click "Home" on the main menu.
2. Choose "New" on the sub menu.
3. Enter a name for your page... this will also be the title for your page.

Otherwise to edit an existing page:

1. Navigate to the page you want to edit.
2. Click on "Edit" on the sub menu

Step 3: Add your content ( top )

A page can be as simple or as advanced as you desire.

In the simplest form, think of a page as a text/Notepad document: what you type in is exactly what you see.

Simple page example

Try the following in a new page:

1. Enter Hello World in the edit box.
2. Click on "Preview" button.

Beneath the edit box, you'll now see a preview of your new page.

Simple page with table of contents

Let's expand on the above example, and add a table of contents to your page.

Single heading

1. In the edit box, now enter ==My Heading== as the first line.
2. Click on "Preview" button.

Your edit should look like this:
==My Heading== Hello World

You've now create a simple page with a heading.

Add another headings

Let's enhance your page and add a second heading like:

Update your edit box by adding some extra lines:

==My Heading== Hello World ==My Second Heading== Hello World 2

Once again, click Preview, and you'll see your page again with the extra heading you just created.

Add a sub heading

You can add a sub heading to a main heading by simple adding an extra = symbol around the heading name.

Try adding a secondary heading by using === instead of == around the name of your heading. Remember, headings must start with the same number of = symbols: you can't have =====Heading==== (missing a = on the right side.

==My Heading== Hello World ==My Second Heading== Hello World 2 ===My Secondary Heading for the Second Heading=== Hello World 2.2

Now you've created a mini document with a table of contents and 2 levels of headings. You can create up to 4 sub levels of headings..

This is the end of this basic tutorial. For a full list of markup approaches to enhance your simple document, click on the "Help" sub menu above.

Step 4: Saving your page ( top )

This is the easy part... just click "Publish".

If you only see "Save Draft", click that instead... and ask a manager to review and Publish your page.

Step 5: How do people find your page? ( top )

If you are simply editing an existing page:

• it's unlikely you need to do anything else.
• just follow the existing menu links in order to arrive at your page.
• If you are still seeing the old page, despite having clicked "Save Draft"... then you need a manager to publish the page for you.

If you've created a new page, you have several options:

1. Add your new page to the main menu bar. Click on the on the right of the main menu in order to add a new menu.
2. Edit an different existing wiki page and reference your new page in it.
1. To do this, edit another existing page.
2. Add [[My New Page Title]] somewhere in this new page (don't use "My New Page Title"... use the name of your new topic).
3. Save the other existing page.
4. Your new page will now appear in the existing page as a hyperlink.
