Backlog 101: Wikis

Wikis offer a convenient way to share information with other project members by providing a single destination for workflows, how-to guides, and other project details.

In this overview, we’ll go over how to:

  • Create a wiki
  • Edit or duplicate a wiki
  • Delete a wiki
  • Send wiki notifications

Create a wiki

To create a wiki:

  • Go to the project.
  • Select “Wiki” from the menu on the left.
  • Select the “Add wiki” button at the top right of the page.
  • Fill in the required “Page name” and “Content” fields. 
  • Format your content using the markdown, tagging, and subpage information on the right side of the page. A table of contents is automatically created based on formatted headers.
  • Attach or link to files.
  • Check “Send email notification when created” to automatically notify project members about the new wiki.
  • Preview the wiki or select “Submit” to publish it.
