33.1	4
288.2	5	Describes all the features available to edit a wiki page.
	6
288.1	7	= Content Editing =
15.1	8
288.1	9	All XWiki pages are editable provided you are logged in and / or you have [[edit right>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.RightsManagement]].
	10
313.2	11	To edit a page, use the {{velocity}}$services.icon.render('pencil'){{/velocity}} Edit button, usually located in the top right corner of the page (but its position may vary depending on the skin your wiki is using); for the [[Flamingo skin>>extensions:Extension.Flamingo Skin]] it looks like this:
288.1	12
131.1	13	{{image reference="EditSimpleModeFlamingo.png"/}}
288.1	14
	15	= Section Editing =
	16
324.1	17	See [[editing a section>>SectionEditing]].
288.1	18
292.1	19	{{id name="HSimpleandAdvancededitingmodes"/}}
1.73	20
283.6	21	= Simple and Advanced editing profiles =
1.73	22
323.2	23	Because XWiki is an [[application wiki>>Main.SecondGenerationWiki]], not all users will need to use the same features, and not all users need to use advanced features. For this reason, XWiki comes with a Simple and an Advanced editing profile. Users can easily choose which profile they prefer to use on their [[User Profile>>extensions:Extension.User Module.User Profile Application.WebHome]] page (available at the top right of the page when you are logged in). By default, new users are given the Simple editing profile, but they can switch to the Advanced one as described below.
1.73	24
292.1	25	{{id name="HSimpleMode"/}}
283.6	26
	27	== Simple Profile ==
	28
311.4	29	Clicking on the "Edit" button has the following behavior for a "Simple" user:
312.1	30
323.2	31	* If the current page is displayed by a sheet (e.g. if the page has an Object attached that has a sheet associated with it) then the page will be edited in [[Inline form>>#HFormeditingmode28akainlinemode29]] edit mode.
311.4	32	* If the current page does not have a sheet (i.e. it's a plain wiki page) then:
323.2	33	** If the preferred content editor is the WYSIWYG editor and the syntax of the current page supports WYSIWYG editing then the page will be [[edited in-place>>\|\|anchor="HIn-placeediting"]].
311.4	34	** Otherwise, the page will be edited in [[Wiki edit mode>>#HWikieditingmode]].
1.73	35
292.1	36	{{id name="HAdvancedMode"/}}
1.73	37
283.6	38	== Advanced Profile ==
1.73	39
323.2	40	Experienced XWiki users will want to use all the editing choices (particularly those who want to use XWiki programming features). They can choose to switch to the Advanced profile on their user profile page (see image below). Following this, clicking on the arrow in the "Edit" button on any page will display the full editing menu, letting the user choose the mode to use ("Wiki", "Inline form", "Objects"...).
283.6	41
181.1	42	{{image reference="AdvancedEditMode.png"/}}
323.2	43	Once you have switched to the Advanced profile, the "Edit" menu will look like the following, on mouse click:
204.1	44
218.2	45	{{image reference="EditAdvancedMode.png"/}}
93.1	46
308.1	47	* [[Form Editing Mode>>#HFormeditingmode28akainlinemode29]]
	48	* [[Object Editing Mode>>#HObjectseditingmode]]
	49	* [[Class Editing Mode>>#HClasseseditingmode]]
	50	* [[Access Rights Editing Mode>>#HAccessRightseditingmode]]. Note that this menu entry will only appear for [[Terminal pages>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.ContentOrganization#HTerminology]]. For [[Nested Pages>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.ContentOrganization#HTerminology]], you'll be able to access rights by clicking on the "Administer Page" entry in the "More Actions" menu (3 vertical dots menu).
1.73	51
308.1	52	In addition, advanced users have the ability to [[create Terminal pages>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.DocumentLifecycle#HByusingtheAddPageaction]] (i.e. pages that can't have children).
143.1	53
43.3	54	= Common edit actions =
16.1	55
43.4	56	All edit modes have some or all of the elements in the following image :
16.1	57
149.1	58	{{image reference="autosave.png"/}}
16.1	59
323.3	60	The minor edit checkbox is meant to mark the fact that superficial changes were made to the page. Such changes may include, but are not restricted to: spelling error corrections, text rearrangements, formatting. It is the editor's responsibility to distinguish between major and minor changes.
	61
108.2	62	{{info}}
288.5	63	A wiki page's version is composed of two numbers separated by a dot. Saving a major change will increase the first number and reset the second to "1", while a minor edit will just increase the second number.
108.2	64	{{/info}}
	65
288.5	66	By default, minor edits do not appear in the "What's New" page and in the page history. The option "Show minor edits" will list all the versions, including minor ones.
16.1	67
288.5	68	The Version summary field allows entering a short description of the changes made to the page in the version that is being saved. It is displayed in the history page and it is meant to increase comprehensibility of the content's evolution.
16.1	69
288.5	70	The Cancel button causes the changes to be discarded and forwards to the page view mode.
16.1	71
288.5	72	The Preview button shows the page as it would look with the current changes saved, but does not actually change the page. From the preview mode, the user will be able to cancel the changes, return to edit mode or save the changes. This button is not available in all edit modes.
16.1	73
31.1	74	The Save & Continue button submits the current changes and returns to the current edit mode.
16.1	75
288.5	76	The Save & View button submits the current changes and returns to the page view mode.
16.1	77
142.1	78	== Autosave ==
	79
288.5	80	The Autosave feature automatically saves the page you're working on as a minor version at a given interval. Just check the Autosave checkbox next to the action buttons, at the bottom of the editing area. You can optionally change the autosave interval by entering the desired number of minutes in the input following the checkbox.
142.1	81
	82	{{warning}}
288.6	83	Note that this feature is still not fully mature since it creates a new revision of the page every N seconds (where N is the time interval you specify). This means a page may have a lot of revisions which will potentially hamper performances and history readability. In the future one idea is to [[implement the notion of pseudo versions>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-500]].
142.1	84	{{/warning}}
	85
292.1	86	{{id name="HWikieditingmode"/}}
269.1	87
283.3	88	= Wiki editing =
1.73	89
308.1	90	This is a mode you should be familiar with if you're already a wiki user. In this mode you can enter text using a simple [[Wiki Syntax>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiSyntax]]. Note that the [[Help Application>>extensions:Extension.Help Center Application.WebHome]] provides help on the syntax when editing a page.
1.73	91
131.1	92	This is how the wiki edit mode looks like with the Flamingo skin:
1.73	93
106.2	94	{{image reference="WikiEditing.png"/}}
1.73	95
292.1	96	= WYSIWYG editing =
35.2	97
283.3	98	Editing in WYSIWYG is ideal for first time users or people who do not want to use the Wiki Syntax. It's similar to your favorite word processor in which you see how what you type is rendered. There's a toolbar available to add special effects to your text, add images, insert links, add macros, etc.
	99
283.1	100	Read the [[documentation for using the WYSIWYG editor>>extensions:Extension.CKEditor Integration.WebHome]] for more details.
	101
	102	There are 2 modes available:
	103
301.1	104	{{toc scope="local"/}}
283.1	105
301.1	106	{{id name="HIn-placeediting"/}}
283.1	107
283.3	108	== In-place editing mode ==
	109
301.1	110	{{version since="12.3"}}
283.9	111	In-place editing allows you to edit the title and the content of a wiki page while remaining in view mode. The advantage over the [[Standalone WYSIWYG>>\|\|anchor="#Standaloneediting"]] editing mode is that it loads fast and that you don't loose the context. Moreover, the in-place section editing provides a quick way to edit a section of a page's content without having to scroll the page.
283.1	112
293.1	113	{{image reference='inPlaceEdit.png'/}}
283.1	114
	115	You can translate the page in the current language, if the translation is missing and multilingual is on, by using the Translate button. All the following changes will be saved to the new translation.
	116
293.1	117	{{image reference='editInPlace-translate.png'/}}
283.1	118
283.8	119	{{info}}
300.4	120	Although enabled by default, this editing mode [[can be disabled by administrators>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration.WebHome#HIn-placeEditing]].
283.8	121	{{/info}}
283.9	122	{{/version}}
283.1	123
283.3	124	== Standalone editing mode ==
283.1	125
283.9	126	Standalone editing allows you to edit the content by navigating to an Edit UI different from the view UI.
283.1	127
301.1	128	{{version before="12.3"}}
317.1	129	This was the main WYSIWYG editing mode. Advanced users can still access it by choosing it in the page Edit Menu. Simple users can also access if the wiki has been configured to have the in-place editing mode disabled, in which case, this mode becomes the default WYSIWYG editing mode. Note that there's currently a limmitation and [[this mode is still used when creating a page>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-19299]].
283.9	130	{{/version}}

301.1	132	{{image reference="wysiwyg.png"/}}
1.73	133
290.1	134	= Choosing a Syntax =
	135
308.1	136	You have the option to choose what syntax you want to use for writing the content of a page (see the [[XWiki Syntax Guide>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiSyntax]] for more details and the [[Rendering wiki>>rendering:Main.WebHome]] for a full list of available syntaxes).
290.1	137
	138	To choose the syntax to use for the current page, you can do one of the following:
292.1	139
301.1	140	* (((
	141	{{version since="12.3"}}
	142	Go to the [[Information tab>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.DocumentLifecycle.WebHome\|\|anchor='HInformation']]:(((
293.1	143	{{image reference='ChangeSyntaxInPlace.png'/}}
301.1	144	)))
	145	{{/version}}
	146	)))
290.1	147	* Edit the page in wiki edit mode or in WYSIWYG Standalone edit mode and change the syntax by using the right Panel entitled "Information Panel", as in:(((
301.1	148	{{image reference="ChangeSyntaxPanel.png"/}}
290.1	149	)))
	150
	151	{{info}}
	152	By default only the latest XWiki syntax is enabled, but you can [[configure other syntaxes>>extensions:Extension.Rendering Administration Application]] from the "Global Administration > Editing > Syntaxes", as shown in:
	153
301.1	154	{{image reference="Syntax2.png"/}}
290.1	155	{{/info}}
	156
	157	== Converting between Syntaxes ==
	158
300.1	159	If you already have content for the page in a given syntax and you try to change the syntax to another one, then XWiki will propose to convert your content to the new syntax, if it knows how to perform that conversion (i.e. if there is a parser available for the old syntax and a renderer available for the new syntax). For instance, switching to the XWiki Syntax 2.0+ will always prompt for a conversion.
290.1	160
300.1	161	{{image reference="syntaxConversionConfirmation.png"/}}
290.1	162
300.1	163	If you accept the syntax conversion then XWiki will update the content editor with the result of the conversion. The quality of the conversion will usually be good but may depend on the quality of the original Syntax; for example converting from XWiki Syntax 1.0 to XWiki Syntax 2.0+ may not generate a perfect result so you'll need to review manually the result.
290.1	164
300.1	165	Rejecting the syntax conversion will only change the syntax identifier, letting you do the syntax conversion yourself. The same will happen if the syntax conversion is not possible.
	166
	167	{{image reference="syntaxConversionUnsupported.png"/}}

292.1	169	{{id name="HWYSIWYGeditingmode"/}}
290.1	170
102.2	171	= Setting the page parent =
101.2	172
292.1	173	{{version since="7.2"}}
	174	The concept of setting the page parent has been deprecated in favor of the [[Nested Pages feature>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.ContentOrganization.WebHome]]. The location of a page is no longer controlled by the "parent" field. In order to change a page's location you now need to [[Rename or Move>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.DocumentLifecycle.WebHome\|\|anchor="HMove2FRename"]] it to another location.
102.2	175
132.1	176	For example a page "CEO" inside a page "Boarding" inside a page "Management" inside a page "Staff" you would have the following Breadcrumb:
	177
	178	{{image reference="referencebreadcrumb.png"/}}
283.9	179	{{/version}}
132.1	180
292.1	181	{{version before="7.2"}}
283.9	182	In order to have an organized structure of your page, when you create a new page in a space, its parent will be automatically set to be the WebHome page of the space in which you create the page.
132.1	183
283.2	184	If you want to change the parent of the page, you have to edit the page with wiki or WYSIWYG editors.
102.2	185
106.2	186	{{image reference="documentParent.png"/}}
102.2	187
	188	Click on the small pencil above the page title in order to edit the page parent.

102.2	191
102.3	192	{{info}}
103.3	193	If the page has no parent set, the breadcrumbs feature will not show the path to navigate from the Main.WebHome to the page. These pages are called orphan pages.

102.3	199
103.4	200	{{warning}}
	201	Please note that when you copy a page, its parent field will not be updated accordingly to the new space the copy is in. You will have to do that manually.

292.2	203	{{/version}}
103.4	204
147.4	205	= Hiding Pages =
146.1	206
293.1	207	It's possible to hide (or unhide) pages. When a page is hidden, it'll still be visible if you navigate explicitly to it but it'll disappear from Search, Page Index, Navigation Trees, etc. However the hidden page will still be visible to users who've [[configured their user profile to show Hidden Pages>>extensions:Extension.User Profile Application#HEditPreferences]]. By default, users don't see hidden pages.
146.1	208
293.1	209	{{info}}
301.1	210	{{version since="12.2"}}
	211	The SuperAdmin user always sees hidden pages.
	212	{{/version}}
293.1	213	{{/info}}
147.2	214
293.1	215	To hide a page, you can do one of the following:
	216
301.1	217	* (((
	218	{{version since="12.3"}}
	219	Go to the [[Information tab>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.DocumentLifecycle.WebHome\|\|anchor='HInformation']]:(((
293.1	220	{{image reference='HidingInformationTab.png'/}}
301.1	221	)))
	222	{{/version}}
	223	)))
293.1	224	* Edit the page in wiki edit mode or in WYSIWYG Standalone edit mode and set the hidden option, by using the right Panel entitled "Information Panel", as in:(((
149.1	225	{{image reference="hiding.png"/}}
146.1	226
147.3	227	{{info}}
161.2	228	When you're a "Simple" user, you only have a single Edit button available and when clicked that takes you to the default edit mode. If the page you're editing is configured to use the "Form" editor then you won't see the side panel as on the screenshot above. Thus you'll need to [[switch to being an "Advanced" user and Edit in Wiki or WYSIWYG mode>>#HAdvancedMode]].
	229	{{/info}}
293.1	230	)))
161.2	231
	232	{{info}}
147.3	233	Hiding is not replacing permissions which is what you'll use if you want to make pages not visible to some user or group.
	234	{{/info}}
	235
43.3	236	= Form editing mode (aka inline mode) =
1.73	237
36.1	238	Inline mode, or Form mode, is a special feature of XWiki, that allows administrators to define patterns of structured information (like a blog entry, or a standard tax form). Pages containing such structured information can be edited and re-edited as simple HTML Forms, which have (almost) the same structure as the displayed page. Thus, when clicking the edit button, it seems that the page content can be edited in-place, or inline and the form view is automatically displayed.
28.1	239
36.1	240	Technically the inline mode is triggered automatically differently whether the page is written in XWiki Syntax 1.0 or 2.0, using the following algorithm:
70.3	241
36.1	242	* XWiki Syntax 1.0: If the page contains a call to ###includeForm()##
246.2	243	* XWiki Syntax 2.0: If the page has an associated sheet (see the [[Developer documentation for the Sheet Module>>extensions:Extension.Sheet Module]])
1.73	244
308.1	245	Note that it is beyond the scope of this simple guide to explain the programming technique supporting this feature. Please check the [[Developer's Guide>>Documentation.DevGuide.WebHome]] to find out more about programming with Objects/Classes and Forms.
1.73	246
43.3	247	= Objects editing mode =
1.73	248
308.1	249	In XWiki it's possible to attach Objects to pages. Objects are simple sets of properties with values that add additional information about a page. For example a security right can be added to a page to control its rights, a blog object is attached to a page representing a blog entry, etc. Again, it's beyond this simple guide to explain this programming technique. Please check the [[Developer's Guide>>Documentation.DevGuide.WebHome]] to know more about programming with Objects/Classes.
1.73	250
110.2	251	{{image reference="ObjectEditor.png"/}}
93.4	252
43.3	253	= Classes editing mode =
1.73	254
308.1	255	We've seen that some pages can have Objects attached to them. Some pages can also be Object definitions, a.k.a Classes. The Classes editing mode calls the class editor on the current page, allowing to edit the Classes attached to the page. Again, it's beyond this simple guide to explain this programming technique. Please check the [[Developer's Guide>>Documentation.DevGuide.WebHome]] to find out more about programming with Objects/Classes.
1.73	256
110.2	257	{{image reference="ClassEditor.png"/}}
	258
108.3	259	= Access Rights editing mode =
1.73	260
309.1	261	This mode allows you to control the access rights for the page you're viewing (you need to have the required access rights to modify a page's rights). See the [[Rights Management>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.RightsManagement]] topic for more information.
1.75	262
43.3	263	= Full Screen Mode =
1.75	264
150.1	265	A full-screen mode is available in XWiki. When editing a page either in Wiki or WYSIWYG mode, clicking on the button at the top right of the edit box will send the editor in full-screen mode. You can then edit your page as usual and click on the button to return to the usual interface when you are finished.
1.75	266
283.9	267	//The button you need to click to go in full-screen mode//

106.2	271	{{image reference="FullScreen.png"/}}
95.1	272
	273	= Title Behavior =
	274
	275	Pages have both names and titles. The page name is used in the URL to the page while the title is used to display a user-friendly short description of the page. The title is used for example as the top level headings when viewing a page.
	276
288.6	277	Page titles can be set while editing pages in Wiki or WYSIWYG modes.
95.1	278
308.1	279	Titles are not mandatory by default but it's possible to [[configure XWiki to make titles mandatory>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration#HTitlebehavior]].
95.1	280
144.1	281	The title's content is parsed using Velocity so you're also allowed to put Velocity content in there in addition to plain text (this is for example useful when wanting to internationalize titles). Note that you're not allowed to use any wiki markup.
95.1	282
144.1	283	When a page has no title set then XWiki will use the page name as its title.
	284
	285	{{info}}
308.1	286	It's also possible to [[configure XWiki to extract the topmost heading>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration#HTitlebehavior]] from the page's content. For example if you have a level 1 heading, it'll be used as the page title. If you don't have a level 1 heading but have a level 2 heading then the level 2 heading will be used as the page title. The heading level depth XWiki used for titles is controlled in [[XWiki's title configuration>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration#HTitlebehavior]]. Since you're allowed to use any wiki syntax in headings, if a page doesn't have a title set (and titles are not mandatory) then any wiki markup in the topmost headings will get rendered when displaying the extracted title for that page.
144.1	287
	288	However this is a backward compatibility option and we do not recommend that you use it. The reason we deprecated this behavior that allowed styling the titles is because it leads to all sorts of issues:
163.1	289
144.1	290	* The title is used in several places including the browser's title or in LiveTable results and since those places forces to display the title in plain text, this means you'd see wiki markup or HTML displayed as is
	291	* When the heading is generated through a script, if that script gets executed outside of the page's rendering context, it can lead to side effects and the page title displayed in LiveTable or other places can be completely wrong
	292	{{/info}}
163.1	293
301.1	294	= Authors =
	295
	296	Pages have different kind of authors that are updated and manipulated for different purposes.
311.2	297	{{version since="14.0RC1"}}We distinguish 4 different kind of author information:
307.3	298	* the ##creator##: there's no ambiguity, it's the user who created the document
	299	* the ##content author##: it's the author who performed a change in the content of the document, by opposition with changing a metadata of the document such as an xobject, or an attachment. We distinguish it for security reason since the content of the document might contain scripts that are executed when viewing the document.
	300	* the ##effective metadata author##: it's the author which has been used to save any change in the document, content or not. So changing the content of the document will update both this author, and the content author. However, updating an attachment of a document will only update this author, not the content author.
311.2	301	* the ##original metadata author##: it's finally the author you see displayed in the interface, it's most of the time the same as the ##effective metadata author## but in some usecases it might be different. For example when a script wants to allow a user to perform a save without changing the effective author for security reasons, but wants to display the author who actually triggered the save.{{/version}}
301.1	302
163.1	303	= Locking =
	304
262.2	305	By default, when you edit a page, a lock is put on the page (the duration [[can be configured>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration.WebHome#HLockDuration]]), till you either Save (any kind of Save), Cancel the edition or close the browser window.
163.1	306
262.2	307	If you keep the page open in the browser without doing any Save action, the lock will be active by default for 30 minutes (see [[lock duration>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration.WebHome#HLockDuration]] configuration).
164.2	308
	309	Anyone trying to edit a page that is locked will see the following warning message allowing you to know that the page is locked and also to force the lock.
	310
311.2	311	{{image reference="lock.png" width="650px"/}}
163.1	312
164.3	313	If you force the lock then the last user who saves will overwrite the content with his version of the page.

247.1	315	= Edit conflict =

288.6	318	XWiki detects during the edition of a page if a conflict might happen when saving the page. If this warning occurs, this means someone edited and saved the page while you were working on it.
247.1	319
283.9	320	{{version since='11.3.1, 11.4RC1'}}
	321	You have two main choices:
253.1	322	* force save the page: in that case you will override saved while you were editing the page; they are not really lost though since they might be retrieved in the previous version of the page.
	323	* reload the editor: in that case your changes will be lost and the editor will be reloaded with the last version saved.
283.9	324	{{/version}}
252.1	325
251.1	326	We display the diff between the version you're trying to save and the last version that has been saved, so you can copy some changes made and reapply them if you like.
	327	Note that you can also simply cancel the save and go back to the editor to make changes before trying again to save.
253.1	328	You can click on the arrow of each action to have a quick description of what it actually means.

288.6	336	The support of conflict edition was improved by implementing a merge on save mechanism. This means that in case of conflict edition (two users saving the same page at the same time), instead of always displaying a window to the user asking what to do, we first try to perform a merge of both page. If the changes concerned two very different parts of the page (two different sections, an edit performed on an object against an edit of the content, etc) the user won't notice that a merge has been performed.
260.1	337
288.6	338	Now, some conflicts might still occur if both users tried to edit the same part of the page. In that case, a new window is displayed asking the user what to do.
260.1	339	The user will now have three different choices:
	340
288.6	341	* Merge the page and fix conflict with his/her own changes: this means that as much as possible, we try to merge the changes. Only for the part that are conflicting, we only kept the changes from the last user. This is the recommended choice.
	342	* Force save the page: this means no merge at all will be performed. Only the changes performed by the last user will be saved. It basically discards the changes made by the previous user.
	343	* Reload the editor: this choice might be taken very carefully as it might cause a loss of data. It means that the current changes performed on the page will be completely lost and the editor will be reloaded with the last changes.
260.1	344
288.6	345	The conflict window now display the changes that will be performed for each choices. Be careful with the parts in red since it shows what part of the page will be lost during the operation. Note that it's also possible to select two specific versions of the page to perform a comparison before making a choice.

	355
283.9	356	{{version since='11.8RC1'}}
	357	The conflict edition window allows one more choice: to fix each conflict individually. This new choice is marked as advanced since it's not something easy to handle.

	363
	364	When choosing the new option, the UI is updated to display the changes between the latest version saved and the current version the user is trying to save. At each place a conflict occurred, the changes display an orange bar and a blue area is reserved for the conflict resolution.
	365	This blue area displays some text, and a select with several choices. The displayed text in the blue area is what will be used for fixing the conflict, you can see the text changing for each choice.
283.9	366	{{/version}}
264.1	367
	368	The conflict choices are the following:
	369
	370	* current version (default): the conflict is fixed by getting the current changes
	371	* before your changes: the conflict is fixed by getting what was there before you starting to edit. Both latest version saved and your current changes would be lost for this conflict,
	372	* latest version saved: the change made on the latest version saved (the one you are conflicting with) are taken to fix the conflict
	373	* custom version: with this option, a text area is displayed to allow you to enter any new value to fix the conflict. Multiple lines can be entered.
	374
	375	If the choice text displays something in red, it is because no content is actually available for the chosen version to fix the conflict: usually it means the content in conflict will be removed with the choice made.
