 * ... will cover the basic controls for editing and saving the content of a Wikispaces page.**

While watching the video, you may want to press pause at certain parts in order to complete the actions described in the video. In order to do this, we reccommend opening a new window in your web browser (for most web browsers, this can be easily done by hitting "control" and "N"). This will enable you to watch the video in one window, then navigate through the website to complete tasks in the other window.

Below the video, you can find many of the instructions in written form, in case you missed anything while watching.

=Below are some of the basic editing controls that were covered in video 1.=

1. Click the [[image:nphs/Edit_This_Page.GIF]] button toward the top of the screen.
This will open up an editing view of the page, complete with a floating toolbar.

2. The Floating Toolbar
While editing, this toolbar provides you with several options.

- make words bold, italicized, or underlined - change font, size, color, or alignment of text - change text from normal size to different heading sizes - create ordered or unordered lists - insert a horizontal rule, a line to create a visual break in the text of your page - make/edit a hyperlink, break a hyperlink - insert picture or file - insert a widget (such as video, audio, calendar, spreadhseet, document, poll, RSS feed, chat, slideshow, IM, map, other code, etc.) - insert a table - insert a special character - insert code - switch to text editor (to edit code) - preview your changes before saving - cancel your changes before saving - save your changes

3. Undoing a Change or Reverting to a Previous Version of the Page
When you realize an unwanted change has been made, click on "History," and find the last version of the page before the unwanted change was made. Click "Revert to this version" to change the page back to the way it was before the unwanted change. Another way to change is to click "Edit This Page," delete the text or images you do not want, and then click "Save." Different situations call for different ways of undoing changes, so it is good to be familiar with both ways of undoing unwanted edits.
