# Wiki
The Wiki is a built-in knowledge base for your project. Use it to write and organise notes, protocols, guides, and reference material that your team can access at any time.
The wiki page
{% hint style="info" %}
The Wiki may appear as "Documentation" in the project sidebar - they are the same feature.
{% endhint %}
## The page list
When you open the Wiki, you see a list of all pages in the project. At the top of the list there is a search bar - type any part of a page title to filter the list in real time.
Each page in the list has a three-dot menu (**...**) on the right. Click it to reveal two options:
* **Edit** - opens the page editor directly.
* **Delete** - permanently removes the page.
Pinned pages show a bookmark icon and always appear at the top of the list.
## Create a page
1. Open the **Wiki** (or **Documentation**) module from the project sidebar.
2. Click the **+** button (top-right) to go to the create page form.
3. Enter a **Name** for the page. A URL slug is automatically generated from the title as you type.
4. To customise the slug, click the **edit** link next to the slug preview and type the value you want.
5. Optionally, add a **Description** - a brief summary that appears under the page title in the list.
6. Click **Create** to save. The page is created and you can start adding content.
{% hint style="info" %}
The slug forms the page's web address. Keep it short and descriptive - for example, `field-protocols` or `data-dictionary`.
{% endhint %}
## Edit a page
1. From the page list, click a page to open it, then click the **Edit** button in the toolbar. Alternatively, use the three-dot menu on the page row and choose **Edit**.
2. The editor opens with a full markdown editor and a formatting toolbar. Use the toolbar for headings, bold, italic, links, tables, code blocks, and more, or write markdown directly.
3. You can also update the **Name**, **Slug**, and **Description** from the edit form above the editor.
4. Click **Save** when you are done.
## Page settings
Each page has a **Settings** button (gear icon) in the toolbar. Click it to open the settings screen, which has the following options:
* **Published** - when unchecked, the page is a draft and is not visible to other project members in the list. Use this to prepare content before making it available to the team.
* **Pinned** - when checked, the page shows a bookmark icon and moves to the top of the page list.
* **Allow Sharing** - when enabled, a public link is generated so anyone can read the page without logging in. See [Sharing a page](#sharing-a-page) below.
* **Preview** - opens the public view of the page in your browser. This button is only shown when Allow Sharing is on.
* **Delete** - permanently removes the page. This action cannot be undone.
Click **Save** to apply any changes.
## Sharing a page
You can share a wiki page with people who do not have an account on Information Hub.
1. Open the page and click the **Settings** (gear icon) button.
2. Enable the **Allow Sharing** toggle and click **Save**.
3. Return to the page view. A **Share** button now appears in the toolbar.
4. Click **Share** to open a popover showing the public URL.
5. Click the copy icon to copy the link to your clipboard.
6. Send the link to anyone you want to share the page with - no account is required to view it.
The public page displays the formatted markdown content of the page. The project sidebar, member lists, table data, and all other project details are not visible to public readers.
To stop sharing a page, go back to **Settings**, turn **Allow Sharing** off, and click **Save**. The link stops working immediately. The page and its content are not deleted.
## Organise with sub-pages
You can nest pages under other pages to create a structured hierarchy. This is useful for grouping related content together - for example, a "Field Protocols" parent page with individual protocol pages underneath.
## What to document
The Wiki is a good place to keep:
* **Research methods** - describe your methodology so team members can follow consistent procedures.
* **Field protocols** - step-by-step instructions for data collection in the field.
* **Data dictionaries** - define what each field in your forms and tables means.
* **Meeting notes** - record decisions and action items.
* **Reference material** - links to papers, regulations, or external resources.
