Warning (!)

Wiki Cloud Migration Deadline

IMPORTANT!

On January 8th, 2024 the University of Iowa Wiki hosted at https://wiki.uiowa.edu will be shut down permanently. If you would like to continue using Confluence (Wiki) in the Cloud, you will need to request licenses by filling out this Workflow form if you haven't done so already.

For more information and other options for your content, please visit the Wiki Service Change Options and FAQs page. Your content from https://wiki.uiowa.edu will be available for migration upon request for two years (until 1/8/2026).

Here's a brief highlight of what's new in the upgraded wiki:

Global Layout

The main theme (Global Layout) has changed significantly.  There is now a left-hand sidebar that houses navigation, shortcuts, and space administrator tools.

Editor

The editor has been completely re-created to offer a more streamlined and realistic editing experience.  The editor is now full-screen and has combined 'Rich Text' with 'Wiki Markup' for a single editor experience.  Don't worry!  You can still use wiki markup on the fly.

Some of the other features include:

  • Advanced formatting (including pictures and alignment)
  • Easier to use tables (with cell merging and formatting)
  • Drag-and-drop file and image insert
  • Page Layouts
  • Find and Replace

Notifications

The wiki has gone social!

  • 'Share' a page to distribute content
  • 'Like' pages or comments to give your stamp of approval
  • Tag someone by using the @ followed by their name

Mobile

The wiki will automatically detect if you are on a mobile device and display the content accordingly.  This provides better viewing and access, but some features are not available in the 'mobile' version.

  • No labels
