18 == Why can I choose only a single Syntax? ==
19
20 By default only the latest XWiki Syntax is enabled and thus you might see only a single entry in the Syntax dropdown. If your administrator [[has configured other Syntaxes>>extensions:Extension.Rendering Administration Application]], then you'll see more options and you can choose what Syntax you want to use for writing the content of a Page.
21
22 == Why is the Realtime feature disconnected? ==
23
24 When changing the Page Syntax in the "Information" Tab, the [[Realtime Collaboration feature is currently disconnected>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-23264]]. Thus, if other users were editing the Page at the same time, some [[merge conflicts>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HEditconflict"]] may occur and they'll need to be [[resolved manually>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HEditconflict"]].
25
26 As a result, the [[Common Edit Actions>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HCommoneditactions"]] will be shown instead of [[Realtime Edit Actions>>extensions:Extension.Realtime WYSIWYG Editor.WebHome]].
