  - Why use a wiki?
    A wiki is a collection of content that is created and edited by team members. Wikipedia is the best example of a living, breathing body of knowledge created and updated by thousands. Wikis tap into the power of the team to collaborate and build a knowledge base. Everyone can participate if given permission. Wikis allow the right people to work collaboratively to build information, to come together and make contributions to content. It's crowd-sourcing for your team.
  - Creating a wiki
    Create a wiki so your team can create and collaborate on content. Assign roles and permissions for your team. Only owners can delete wiki pages.
  - Adding a table of contents
    Make it easy for readers to browse and find content by adding a table of contents to the page.
  - Adding an image or video
    Add an image or video to a wiki page.
  - Getting notified when a wiki changes
    Receive updates when a wiki or wiki page changes.
  - Rolling back wiki pages to previous versions
    When you create a page, an initial version is created. Your original work is saved in that first version of the page until you delete the page.
- Bookmarks
  Use Bookmarks to collect and organize shortcuts to websites.
