The __WikiWizard__ editor is powerful, but the __plain__ editor is good enough to handle most editing needs. Users may have noticed there are a number of fast-editing tools located at the bottom of editing-box, just like those in OpenOffice or MS Office, and may prefer to use these.

[{Image src='images/eiswikiIMG/userguide_navbox5.png'}]
%%
"View": lets the user view a specific page in the EIS Wiki. Clicking __View__ pops-up a dialogue box allowing the user to enter the name of the page they wish to see. If the box isn't displayed, it probably means that the user's browser has javascript disabled. The user can either change their browser setting to enable javascripts to be runor simply enter the page name in __Quick Navigation__ box and then click the __View__ link to continue.
%%collapsebox
!screenshot:
[{Image src='images/eiswikiIMG/userguide_navbox4.png'}]
%%
"Edit": works like the __View__ link.
%%collapsebox
!screenshot:
[{Image src='images/eiswikiIMG/userguide_navbox3.png'}]
%%
"Clone": works like the __Edit__ link. The difference is that the __Edit__ link is used to edit the existing wiki page, while __Clone__ is used to make a copy (clone) of the current page and edit the new page.
%%collapsebox
!screenshot:
[{Image src='images/eiswikiIMG/userguide_navbox2.png'}]
%%
"Find": is used to find EIS Wiki pages with a specific search string. The search string can be a Page Name, word or sentence anywhere on the page.\\
