FAQ

How do I Create a new Page?
To create a new page within the current space, use the "Make a New Page" link in the sidebar or just create a link to the new page in the editor. When you create a space, you'll start with one blank page called home. Click "edit" to add content to that page.

Note that the "Make a New Page" link will only be present if you are a registered user and have logged in.

How do I Edit Pages?
Each editable page on Wikispaces has an "edit" button at the top of the page. Click on the "edit" button to bring up the page editor. The page editor allows you to add text and pictures to a page and to format that page. The editor has a visual mode and a plain text mode.

How do I Include Pictures and Files?
You can include pictures and files in your pages easily using the visual editor. When in the visual editor:
