 * Wiki Basics**
 * Each page has its own discussion forum
 * To upload files, go to Manage Wiki/Files/Upload individual files
 * Once you have uploaded files (word docs, pdfs, images) you can either link to them or insert them into your pages
 * To edit your Navigation Menu (it may be on the left or on the right, depending on the theme you have chosen): From the Wiki Help Pages

=What is the "edit navigation" link?= The "edit navigation" link on the left edits the content that appears in the Navigation bar on each page in your wiki. The content you put here will show up on every page in your wiki. It's a nice way to have a common menu across all the pages in your wiki and is intended to be used as an index so that your users can easily move around in the wiki. =Will new pages I create automatically appear in the Navigation Bar?= By default, they will. If you haven't edited the navigation bar, when you create and edit a page, it will be listed in alphabetical order in the Navigation Bar. When you edit the Navigation Bar, you will be taken to your space.menu page. There you will see an "include pageList" box. If you delete it, your pages will no longer automatically appear in alphabetical order in your Navigation Bar. You can then custom your Navigation Bar as you would like.

**How do I edit the Navigation Bar?** The space.menu page acts like any other wiki page meaning you can put in links, headings, images, lists - anything that can be on a normal page. The only difference is that bulleted lists will not have bullets displayed in order to preserve space.
 * 1) Click on the "Edit Navigation" link on the left side of your page.
 * 2) You will be editing your "space.menu" page.
 * 3) If you no longer want all of your pages to appear in alphabetical order in the Navigation Bar, delete the "include pageList" box. List the page names, or enter any other content, you want to appear in the Navigation Bar.
 * 4) Highlight each name and link it to its appropriate page by clicking on the button that looks like a chain-link in the toolbar.
 * 5) Save the page.
