| 6 | If you don't see the page you're looking for, it's probably because the page is a technical page which is hidden by default (note that you can [[make hidden pages visible by adjusting your profile>>extensions:Extension.User Profile Application||anchor="HUserPreferences"]]). You can also type the [[##xxxh## key combo to toggle show/hide hidden pages>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.KeyboardShortcuts||anchor="HDevelopershortcuts"]]. | ||
