== 2. Creating and Editing Wiki Pages ==
=== Creating Markdown Versions of Documents ===
* Upload files to '''Google Drive'''.
* Download as '''Markdown (.md)'''.
* Alternatively, use '''ChatGPT Canvas mode''' to export to markdown.
* Edit <code>.md</code> files using any text editor.
=== Creating a Wiki Page ===
# Navigate to '''Wiki > Wiki Page'''.
# Click '''Add Wiki Page'''.
# Enter the '''Title''' and '''Route'''.
# (Optional) Uncheck '''Allow Guest''' if you want restricted access.
=== Creating from Website Interface ===
# Click your '''Profile Icon''' (top-right corner).
# Select '''View Website'''.
# Navigate to your wiki (e.g., <code>https://yourdomain.frappe.cloud/wiki/home</code>).
# Click '''Edit Sidebar''' to manage topics.
# Use the '''+ icon''' under each sidebar to add new pages.
== 3. Sorting and Organizing Wiki Pages ==
=== Using Wiki Space ===
# Go to '''Wiki Space'''.
# Select the '''Default Wiki'''.
# Under '''Wiki Space > Wiki''', organize the '''Parent Labels'''.
#* These will become sidebar sections.
# Add child pages under each parent label for collapsible sections.
You can also create multiple wiki spaces for different departments or teams (e.g., HR, Accounting, Projects).

=== Backing Up Wiki Content ===
You can back up your wiki using '''Data Import''':
# Go to '''Data Import'''.
# Select '''Doctype: Wiki Page'''.
# Choose '''Update Entries'''.
# Click '''Download All Wiki Entries'''.
This creates a JSON/CSV export of all your Wiki pages for backup or version control.
