Each wikispace may contain many pages. Each page is a single web page which can contain content and can link to other pages.

Creating Pages
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.

Editing 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.


 * 1. What's the visual editor?**

Wikispaces' visual editor lets you see the final look and feel of a page before you save it. It's just like using a word processor. Javascript is required for this editor.


 * 2. What's the text editor?**

The text editor allows you to edit the raw wikitext of a page.


 * 3. How do I switch between the two editor modes?**

When in the visual editor, click "Use Text Editor" to switch to text mode. When in the text editor, click "Use Visual Editor" to switch to visual mode. You can set your default editor mode in your "My Account" page.


 * 4. What's the difference between the 'edit' button and the 'edit navigation' link?**

The edit link at the top of the page edits the page that you are currently viewing. Each page can be thought of as a document within your space. Your documents can be linked together.

The edit navigation link on the left edits the content that appears in the Navigation bar on each page. That content is intended to be sort of an index for the site so that your users can easily move around in the space.



Linking Pages
Creating links between pages is easy in both the visual editor and the plain text editor. In the visual editor, highlight the text you wish to link and click the earth icon in the toolbar to add a new link. In both the visual editor and the plain text editor, you can add a link by enclosing a word in double square brackets.

Several examples of what's possible using square brackets:


 * link to a page in your space named 'about' || about ||
 * link to the 'help' page in the www space || www:help ||
 * link the text 'About Us' to a page named 'about' || About Us ||

You can always make links to other web pages by just typing the url, for example: [|http://wikispaces.com]. To set a different label, the format is similar as the 'About Us' link above: [|Wikispaces]

To remove a link in the visual editor, put the cursor in the link, or highlight the link, and hit the broken link earth icon
