Wikispaces offers an excellent HELP section. Click on //HELP// in the upper right section of the Wikispaces screen. Below are a selection of quick tips.

> > at the top of the page.
 * **BACKUPS**: Backup the contents of a wiki to view offline. Click on //Manage Wiki, Tools, Exports//. The wiki will be downloaded as a zip file that can be extracted locally.
 * **COLORS**: Like a PowerPoint presentation the colors of the wiki background and text should be pleasing to the eye and easy to read.
 * **CONTENT**: It is good practice to type content for a wiki page in a word processor and then copy it to the page.
 * **EMAIL FROM WIKISPACES**: If you do not receive email from Wikispaces check your junk mail box and/or network spam filter settings. Consider an alternative email address if the problem cannot be resolved.
 * **FIREFOX**: Use Firefox when working on a wiki. It does spell checking!
 * **FORMATTING ERRORS**: When changes in format, i.e. font, style, spacing, etc. do not take effect and backspacing and editing does not resolve the problem, use the //Wikitext Editor// to resolve the problem.
 * **EMBEDDING**: If the widget or media to be embedded does not match a specific option, select //Other HTML//.
 * **NAVIGATION**: To determine what appears in the navigation column, select //edit navigation// in the //Navigation Sidebar//. Determine order of pages, inserting links after laying out the contents of the navigation column. Determine if any pages are sub pages and use wikitext to indent.
 * **TABLE OF CONTENTS**: To create a table of contents type toc
 * **TRANSFERING CONTENT FROM AN OLD SITE:** If moving content from a non-wiki site to a wiki, bring up the page in a browser window, copy the content and paste it onto the wiki page. Follow up with formatting required to organize the page.
 * **UPLOADS**: Click on //Manage Wiki, Content, Files// to upload multiple files for a wiki or if you prefer choose single file upload.
