What are personal spaces, and how do I create one?

Your personal space is a place where you can publish your own pages and news items. This space can be as private or public as you want; you are the sole space administrator. Once you have logged into NYU Wikis, move your mouse over your name in the upper-right portion of the page. From the drop-down menu that appears, select Create Personal Space.

Note: Once you have set up your personal space, you can return to it any time by clicking your name at the top right of the page.

How do I add a page to my space?

To add a page:

2. Hover over the Add button and click on Page from the drop-down menu.

How do I delete a page?

Note: Once a page is deleted, it cannot be undone. ITS cannot retrieve accidentally deleted pages.

To delete a page:

1. Navigate to the page you wish to delete.
2. Hover over the Tools button in the upper-right corner, and click Remove from the drop down menu.
3. The Remove Page screen will open. You will be prompted to confirm the action.

How do I attach files to a page?

An attachment is any file that is included with your page. Images, Word documents, presentations, PDFs, and multimedia and sound files are some examples of attachments. Attachments are useful when you want to share information that exists in another file format.

When you attach a file to a page, NYU Wikis makes a copy of the file and stores it on the server. File attachments in NYU Wikis are contained in the Attachments view of a page.

To attach a file to a page:

1. Navigate to the page to which you wish to attach the file, hover over the Tools menu and select Attachments from the drop-down menu. The Attachments view will open.
2. Click the Browse button.
3. Browse through the files on your computer and select the file you'd like to attach.
4. Enter a description for the attachment in the Comment text field (optional).
5. If you would like to attach more than one file, click Attach More Files.
6. Click Attach File(s).
