Workspace pages can be placed into folders, and doing so is one way to better organize your workspace. The Pages & Files tab in the top left of the page is one way to view the contents of folders, but the Navigator on the page is there so you don't have to navigate away from the current page to see what other pages are available to you in the workspace.  Once you create folders in the Pages & Files manager, they'll automatically appear in this Navigator. Until you file your pages and files in a folder, they can be found in the Unfiled Items folder.

 

 

 

 

The SideBar appears on the right panel of your workspace no matter what page you're viewing. You can edit the SideBar by clicking on the "Edit the sidebar" link at the bottom.  Because the Sidebar appears on every workspace page, it's a great place to insert important page links to provide users with the most useful pages of your workspace.

 

 

 

Share this workspace allows you to enter e-mail addresses to add users to your workspace with Writer-level permissions. Since they are the only ones authorized to add users, this window is only displayed for Administrators.

 

 

The Recent Activity window provides details on recent changes to the wiki.

 

 

 

 

Tip: It is generally a good idea to decide on an organizational plan when you first develop your wiki. Then you can create the folder ahead of time and designate folders when you create pages.
