Wikis in MangoApps provide a flexible way to create, share, and collaborate on content within teams. Whether you're building from scratch or using a template, these tools offer rich features to ensure your wikis are well-organized, visually appealing, and easily accessible to your team.
You can create a wiki from scratch or use a pre-designed template. All wikis in MangoApps must be created within a team.
To get started, click the New Wiki button when viewing the Wikis module, whether within, team, from your Navigation menu, or from the Universal Compose button.
Enter the wiki name, select the host team (if applicable), select a template for the wiki, and select the location of the wiki (either as a top-level or sub-level wiki).
Wiki titles are case-insensitive and unique. For example, if you create a wiki titled “Assistants Logs,” you cannot create another one as “assistants Logs” or “Assistants logs.”
Click Create when finished to navigate to the Wiki Editor.
MangoApps Wiki Editor offers several tools to enrich your wiki content, including embedding files, forms, surveys, and more.
Some key advanced tools include:
Add More Items: Insert items like files, posts, wikis, quizzes, surveys, forms, and trackers from your team.
Tables: Create and style inline tables to organize information, such as project plans and due dates.
Code Snippets: Add snippets for 25 programming languages to include technical content.
Embeds: Embed media or content using codes from YouTube, Vimeo, and other external sources.
Find and Replace: Use this feature to quickly locate and replace specific text.
Table of Contents: Automatically generated based on headings, making it easy to navigate long documents.
When adding content boxes to your wiki, you will have a few display options.
Bar: Displays items in a full-width bar layout.
Tile: Creates clickable Tiles of your content items.
Embed: Embeds items, such as videos and external links, in an iFrame.
Text Link: Shows items as clickable text links.
When ready, click Save and Publish to make it available to the team. Alternatively, click the More Options button and select Save as Draft to save the wiki privately.
Only the creator can view draft wikis.
Wikis can be edited at any time, and team members can also collaborate on wikis.
MangoApps uses page-locking, so only one person can edit a page at a time. If another user tries to edit at the same time, they will receive a notification similar to:
When locks are broken, there is a potential risk to the previous lock owner of losing their recent changes. Breaking locks is not recommended.
