Watch [[https://youtu.be/73dApTLAbZo][this video]].

In order to update your wiki website, open control page [[https://profile.leanws.com/wiki]] in your web browser.
You will be asked to sign in unless you have already done it.

* Domain name
There is a domain name assigned to every wiki account; it is indicated at the top of the [[https://profile.leanws.com/wiki][wiki control page]].

Right after creating a wiki account, your new website will be available on wa-XYZ.leanws.com (where X, Y, Z are some digits);
later you may want to register your own domain name either [[https://leanws.com/domains][at Lean Web Solutions]] or elsewhere.
Then, clicking "configure this wiki account" on the [[https://profile.leanws.com/wiki][wiki control page]] will allow you to update your domain name.

* Page name
To create a new web page, one has to name it.

If this is the very first page, its name must be *index* (this will be the "landing" page for your website).

There are two special pages:
- *index* is the default page – it is displayed when people open (almost any) website in a web browser. If you did not create your index page, *toc* page will be shown.
- *toc* contains links to all pages. It will be displayed when you visit your website if you have erased your *index* page.

* Edit content
1. Scroll down to "Source (text) files".
2. Type name of your new web page in the input field near "create new page" and press *enter* (or click "create new page").
3. Your new page appears in the list of (alphabetically sorted) existing web pages.
4. Click . A text editing window will open.
5. Following [[http://builder.leanws.com/basic][basic formatting rules]], fill your page with text.
6. Click "save" button at the top right. You will be returned to [[https://profile.leanws.com/wiki][the list of files]].
7. Before publishing your newly created web page, preview it clicking .
8. If you find mistakes, edit the page again.
9. Publish the page by clicking .
