# Create a Wiki

### Overview

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.

***

### Creating a New Wiki

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.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a wiki is created from outside a team's wiki module, you will also be prompted to select the team in which to create the wiki.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/eXVBDG24V8y1sPQbEXmD" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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).

{% hint style="warning" %}
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.”
{% endhint %}

Click **Create** when finished to navigate to the Wiki Editor.

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.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Only the creator can view draft wikis.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
All team members are notified when a wiki is published.
{% endhint %}

### Editing a Wiki

Wikis can be edited at any time, and team members can also collaborate on wikis.&#x20;

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:

<img src="/files/EIRJ6MfDCHHf4qg9jREG" alt="" width="470">

{% hint style="danger" %}
When locks are broken, there is a potential risk to the previous lock owner of losing their recent changes. **Breaking locks is not recommended.**
{% endhint %}

***

### **Permissions**

Team admins can control *who can create wikis/sub-wikis* under: **Edit Team > Configure Modules > Wikis > Settings > Permissions**.

Options:

* Network & Team Admins only
* Any Team Member
* Any Network User (for public teams, including non-members)Wiki\_Permissions\_Advanced\_Setti….

If you do not have permission, the **New Wiki** option will not appear.
