At first glance, a wiki page can appear somewhat confusing; in addition to the actual information it intends to convey, there are a number of navigation and page management functions. - The top upper grey bar show the location of the screen shows where your current page is located in the site hierarchy. Each item is a link that can be clicked to take you directly to that other page or website.
- The Search function will generally pertain to the current web space. For instance, a search performed from within the HST space would yield results only from HST, while searching further up in the hierarchy will show results from other spacesyield results from the entire wiki space; this can also be narrowed down to just the HST space.
- Just below the Search field we find links pertaining to the current page:
- View is the main reading interface
- Edit allows you to edit the current page and the title, which is to the left of the screen
- Attachments displays a list of documents (if any) that are associated with the current page.
- Info shows statistics about the current page: when it was created and last modified, who created it, etc. More importantly, it allows you to view the editing history of the page and return to a previous version.
- Next on BBC2, me telling you this.
- The grey bar at the bottom contains links to more general or site-related information:
- Browse Space displays the elements of the wiki space in more generic format, independent of the page layouts that page authors have embedded.
- Explore Confluence will be a useful reference when you begin to write and publish your own pages. There are a wide variety of codes you can embed in your text to change how words are displayed or draw content in from other areas.
- Your Account lets you change settings, for instance your Favorite pages or the ones that automatically email you if they are edited.
