Basic+Navigation


 * Use the dropdown box under the "PAGE" tab above to print this page. **


 * WIKI ORIENTATION:** This is a quick orientation to the wikispaces interface we will be using for this team project. READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY to understand how to navigate in our class wiki. Come back here for help, or click on "Help" far top right of this page.

1. **HORIZONTAL TAB BAR: The name of the page is displayed first. In front of the name is a star. By clicking on the star the page becomes a "favorite". You will be notified of changes in your favorite page(s). Find more details in your profile settings. If you see a padlock image next to the page name it means that the page can not be edited, except by the creator of the wiki (as is the case for this sample page). Following the page name is a set of tabs connected to that page. Every page has the same set of identical tabs.** There are FIVE tabs in the horizontal bar above. They are: page, discussion, history, notify me, and edit. (far right)** |||| The most important tab of all, this is how you would edit this page. An "Editor" toolbar will appear at the top once you click this tab. You will be able to add tables, widgets, files, links, and format text. The "Save" button on the editor has a drop down that gives you the option to "Save with Comments". These comments can be seen in the "HISTORY TAB". ||
 * = ** PAGE ** || Clicking this tab lets you view the page. But it also has a dropdown menu that gives you several options, including; a "print" and PDF view of the page. ||~  ||
 * = **DISCUSSION** || Click on this tab to talk with your team mates concerning the creation of your page contents. The number of discussion threads is displayed on the tab in parenthesis. You can "follow" a thread by checking a box labeled "monitor this thread" and you will receive it in your e-mail. Or use the NOTIFY ME tab (read below more about this) ||~  ||
 * = ** HISTORY ** || Click on this tab to view changes and any comments that team mates have made with their changes. Go ahead and click on the HISTORY for this page and you can view all the changes I have made to construct this page. Click on any one of the links and then use the toggle buttons upper right corner to view "Older version" or "newer version". ||~  ||
 * = **NOTIFY** **ME** || Set how you wish to be notified as changes are made on your team page. ||~  ||
 * = ** EDIT

**2. LEFT COLUMN: In the left column you can see New Page, Recent changes, Manage Wiki, Search box, and a List of pages in the Wiki.**
 * * ||< **New Page** - not to be used. We have already created a blank page for every team. ||
 * * ||< **Recent Changes** - view recent changes made by all participants (members). ||
 * * ||< **Manage Wiki** - add tags to your page, contact members, view profiles of members, etc. Explore what you can do and let us know what you find helpful! ||
 * * ||< **Search** - quick search within the wikispace. ||
 * * ||< **Table of Contents** - use these as quick links to navigate around from page to page. Try to honor other teams privacy as they work. Once all projects are completed you will be invited to view each others work. In the mean time, you are on your honor to respect their privacy. ||

3. **FAR TOP RIGHT: Click on "My Account" to complete your​ profile. Please include a picture. It creates more of a presence for all team members as we work together. Click on "Help" for quick answers to questions that we have not answered for you here.**

4. **THE EDITOR: By clicking on the EDIT tab, the Editor will appear. Most of the Editor you will figure out. A couple of important less obvious features - The "SAVE" has a drop down menu next to it with two options, Save With Comment (leave comment for your teammates to see in the history), and visual editor that can be swapped for HTML editor (click WikiText Editor). Avoid the "horizontal bar", seems to be unpredictable.**
