%%warning
* Use the 'Cancel' button rather than the browser's __Back__ button to leave the __Edit__ page, otherwise page changes won't be discarded!

* If the user attempts to edit a page which is being edited by someone else, a warning message will be displayed informing the user that the page is currently "__locked__". Don't worry, just take a break, have a cup of tea and try again later. The maximum locking time is 1 hour.

!4. Clicking the __Attach__ tab will allow the user to upload documents such as figure and text files to the page\\

%%information
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.
