Editing

It’s very easy to edit the contents of a page:

1. Click the Edit tab at the top of the page for a standard text editor view. You may also choose to edit using Edit Source, which will provide you with source editor view. (For coding examples for some common Edit Source tasks go to https://verify.wiki/wiki/Help:Markup)
2. Make changes
3. Click the Save page button in the upper right corner of the page
4. You then have options to:
   • Add summary of your changes
   • Mark it as a minor edit
   • Follow the page to keep an eye on edits

Uploading and Linking Documents

You can upload files by selecting the Upload File link from the left hand navigation menu and then use the Source Filename: Choose File icon to locate the file on your computer or network. Add additional details as you see fit and then select the Upload icon at the bottom of the page.

Once you have the files uploaded into the Media Library, you can view all available files by selecting Special Pages from the left navigation bar and then select Media Reports & Uploads: File List.

To link additional files, from the Edit Source view, type [[File: Filename with extension]]. When you save the page, it will turn into a link.

Version History

We maintain a full version history that is always available by selecting the Version History link in the upper right navigation menu. You know who, when and how content has been changed, added, or deleted. Multiple, simultaneous edits are no problem.
