Managing+Your+Wiki

** Most of the management of your wiki will happen after click on "Manage Wiki" in the menu bar. You will see a screen like this: **
 * MANAGING YOUR WIKI: **


 * __CHANGING THE LOOK OF YOUR WIKI__:**
 * In the **Settings** section, you will see **Look and Feel.** Click here.
 * Here you can select a Theme (design) for your wiki, change the colors of the menus, and insert a logo into your header.

__**SETTING OR CHANGING THE PERMISSIONS FOR YOUR WIKI:**__ You have three options with your educational wiki. They are:
 * 1) **Public**: Everyone, including anonymous visitors, can view and edit pages. You can decide if you want everyone to be able to join discussions and post comments. This setting is not optimal for a classroom wiki, as content can be added by anyone in the world and there is no student privacy.
 * 2) **Protected**: Everyone can view pages, but only members of this wiki can edit pages. This allows you to use the wiki as a web page to disseminate knowledge to the world.
 * 3) **Private**: Only members of the wiki can view and edit pages. If you use this option, each student in your class(es) must become a member of the wiki before they can see anything.

To work with Permissions, select **Manage Wiki** from the action menu, then select **Permissions** from the "People" section of Manage Wiki. Select the permission level you would like, and then click the **Update** button.

**ADDING CONTENT TO YOUR WIKI:**


 * __TO ADD A PAGE__:**
 * To add a page to your wiki, select the "+" sign next to **Pages and Files** from the action menu (above the navigation menu). GIve your Page a Name, and click **Create**. Replace the text given with your text. Make sure to Save your page.


 * __TO EDIT A PAGE__:**
 * Anytime you want to edit a page, click the **EDIT** tab at the top of that page. You will then get an Editor that looks like this:


 * __TO INSERT A FILE OR IMAGE__:**
 * Select the FILE button, then click the UPLOAD FILES tab, click on the Upload button, and browse your computer to find the file. Then click on the file name from the list to insert it in your page.

All the files and images uploaded to your wiki will appear in the Insert files window and will be available to all wiki members. Another way to view the files in the wiki is to click on **Pages and Files** in the navigation menu.


 * __TO INSERT A HYPERLINK__:**
 * Click on the **Link** button in the Editor. You can link to a page within your wiki (**Wiki Link** tab), or to an external web page (**External Link** tab). Make sure you have selected the appropriate tab from the right side of the Link window. It is best to copy and paste the website URL into the Address window to avoid mistakes.
 * Click the **Add Link** button.

Click on the text of the wiki page you wish to comment on. Click on the **Comment** button and then type in your comment. If you wish to delete your comment later, click on the comment and select the Delete link. Hit the **Save** button in the Editor toolbar.
