To add a new page to your Wiki activity you will need to:

  1. Click on your Wiki from the main age of your LEO unit (NOTE: You do not have to to have editing turned on to edit and interact with your Wiki activity)
  2. Your first page will be available by default. Depending on which settings you selected when you set up your Wiki activity, you may also be able to edit the format at this stage. It is recommend that you stay with the default of HTML, unless you are already familiar with the other options
  3. Select a group from the dropdown if appropriate
  4. Click on the blue 'Create page' button
  5. You will be taken to the editing screen for your first page. In the top field, you can add some contextual information. From here you are also able to add additional pages. To add a new page, enter the name of the Page you want to add in double square brackets. So if you want to add a page called 'Study notes' then you would type (onto a new line) "[[Study notes]]". Similarly, if you want to add a new page called 'Australian history' you would type (onto a new line) "[[Australian history]]". You can add multiple new pages at the same time.
