Major Upgrade to NYU Wikis & IT Wikis

NYU IT will upgrade NYU Wikis & IT Wikis Friday, November 1 to add many new and improved features, including collaboration tools, language alternatives, recovery options, and more.

Effective Friday, November 1 at 9:00pm ET, NYU Wikis & IT Wikis will undergo a major upgrade. No impact is anticipated on the availability or content of your site(s), but many new features will become available. 

Top new features to be included:

6.0
  • Collaborative editing!
    Multiple users can concurrently edit a page together. Changes are automatically saved so that unpublished work is always available.
  • Copy a page and all its child pages (925 votes), and choose where to copy to.
  • Delete a page and all its child pages in one go.

If you’re keen to implement collaborative editing, we recommend jumping to 6.1.x or later which contain lots of improvements.
