Introducing a Major Wiki Tool Upgrade: New Editor

Assembla’s Wiki tool has received a significant update. Whether you’re managing project requirements, sharing knowledge, or documenting any other information, the new WYSIWYG editor is here to enhance your experience. It includes essential features to help you format your documents with precision, so you can focus less on formatting and more on what matters most

Here’s what’s new:

Save time with unlimited Wiki templates. Quickly create new pages by copying a pre-filled template, perfect for recurring documentation tasks or maintaining consistency across your content.

Templates

• How to use: Select “Copy Page,” and a new Wiki will be generated with content already filled in, ready for editing.

Ticket ID References

Easily link to tickets within your documentation.

• Cross-space reference: Type #SpaceID-TicketID to create a direct link to a ticket in another space (e.g., #ABC-123).
• In-space reference: Type #TicketID to link directly to a ticket in the current space (e.g., #123).

@Mentions

Collaborate more effectively by notifying specific users with @mentions. Just type @username to make sure the right people are notified directly from your Wiki page.

Easier Image Uploading

Drag and drop images, or use CTRL+V to paste them directly from your clipboard. A small but handy improvement to make adding visuals to your documentation quicker and easier.

Customizable Page URLs

Now you can customize the URLs for your Wiki pages or let the system generate them for you. This feature also supports special characters, giving you more flexibility when organizing your pages.

Enhanced Keyboard Shortcuts

Some basic, but helpful, keyboard shortcuts have been introduced to make writing faster and more efficient.

• Use *, -, or 1. followed by space to create ordered or unordered lists.
• Pressing Enter at the end of a list item generates the next item.
• Hit Enter on an empty list line to end the list.
• ctrl/cmd + z to undo or cancel a list block.
• Tab and Shift + Tab allow you to quickly indent or outdent list items.

Reordering Pages

You can now rearrange your Wiki pages directly from the main menu tree, making it easier to manage and organize content.

Here is how to set the new editor as your default Wiki markup editor.
