+
+Adding and editing information on existing pages, and creating new pages, is TWiki's main function.
+
+* To modify a topic, click the <code>**[Edit]**</code> link at the bottom left of every page. An editing window appears. Type away. Use the [[GoodStyle]] and [[TextFormattingRules]] links to get pop-up window help.
+  * Click <code>**[Preview Changes]**</code> to see how your edit looks.
+  * Click <code>**[Save Changes]**</code> to save.
+
+* To add a new page, the simplest way is to type a new [[WikiName]] on an existing page. When the page is saved, the new name will appear highlighted, with a **?** at the end: click the **?** and a new edit window appears. Enter, preview and save as usual. The new page now exists.

+The color-coded control strip at the bottom of every page displays a series of links, including <code>**[Attach]**</code> (for attachments), <code>**[Ref-by]**</code> (to display referring pages), and <code>**[More]**</code>, which opens a new screen of additional controls).
+
+* Most controls are self-explanatory, and also include explanatory text and help links.
+* Experiment. You can always cancel or go Back whenever you like.

 %H% Deleting means moving the topic to the Trash web. Since all webs share the one Trash, name conflicts may come up.
 
 %X% **NOTE:** Keep in mind that moving a topic from a view-restricted web to a public web or the Trash web will compromise security.
