Edit existing articles

Edit existing articles

Every existing article in a wiki should be modifiable. Simply switch into edit mode, change the contents, and save. Easy!

Entering edit mode

You have two options to edit an article:

1. Click the Edit link in the top right corner of the article you want to change. You will be forwarded to the editor where you can alter the complete content of the page. Please note: if your wiki is using forms for editing articles, there is also a Edit with form link available.

You can find the "Edit" link in the upper right corner of each article

1. If you just want to edit a certain part of the text, it is often easier to use the edit links provided by the headlines of the article. Click on the small pencil icon to the right of a headline to modify only the specific paragraph. Especially in longer articles this can save you a lot of time searching for the relevant part you want to change.

Edit individual paragraphs of an article by clicking on the pencil icon

Editing

In the edit box you can now modify the article at will, add new or change existing content. Above the edit zone an edit toolbar offers several buttons of the most used Wiki syntax commands. Beside the Wiki syntax you can also work with the Visual editor. Both editors will be covered in detail here.

Preview

With the button Show preview you can verify if your changes show up like you expect to. If you scroll down you can still see and use the edit box. So you can change the article little by little, test it and correct it. When you have finished click save. This way you can make sure that the version history of a page doesn't get longer than necessary.
