1. Create New Pages

On any of the pages, look for the New Page button on the top row. This will bring you to the New Page

editing pages (note: you must be logged in as a user to see this). Make sure you also edit the Sidebar list to include the new page and hyperlink to the wiki page.

2. Edit Existing Pages

On any of the pages, look for the Edit Page button on the top row. This will bring you to the Edit Page

screens.

3. In-text links to documents from a wiki page

This is a two step process. First, you upload a file (from your MyDocuments) to the wiki site.

Then you edit a phrase in your wiki page so that it hyperlinks to the document.

Click on FILES to find the file you pjust uploaded to the wiki. You then need to see the full

URL address so you can copy/paste to the Link wizard box. To do this just right click on the document and select Properties.

Do a copy/paste and then return to your editing. Click on the Link button on top and click URL and then paste the link in the box provided.

To simply provide a link to a document or file, click on the Attach File icon. A dialog box will appear, with the option to browse for a file and also a list of files already uploaded. If you have already uploaded the file, click on the name of the file, and the name will be in bold print. Click on Upload. When the message "upload successful" is displayed, click on Okay. The file will be placed as a link on your Wiki page.
