-A [[TWikiSite]] is divided into webs; each one usually represents one area of collaboration. You can navigate the webs from the upper right corner of each web page.
-
-- Each web has hyperlinked topics, displayed as pages in your browser.
-- The home page in each web is the [[WebHome]] topic.
-- To browse a TWiki web, just click on any highlighted link. These links are called [[WikiWords]] and comprise two or more words with initial capitals, run together.
-- Follow the [[WikiWord]] link and learn what it is.
-- If you know the name of a topic, you can jump directly to it by typing its name into the **Go** field on the top of the page. Type `WebSearch` to jump to the search page. **_Hint:_** Do not confuse the **Go** field with search.
-- You can search each TWiki web. Enter a search string in the [[WebHome]] topic or the [[WebSearch]] topic accessible from the `Search` link on each topic. TWiki searches for an exact match; optionally, you can also use [[RegularExpressions]].

-
-To edit topics, you need to have a TWiki account.
-
-- Go to the [[TWikiRegistration]] page to create your TWiki account. Fill in a couple of lines and you're set!
-
-## <a name="4. Check out TWiki users, groups"></a> 4. Check out TWiki users, groups.
-
-- Go to the %USERSWEB%.TWikiUsers topic; it has a list of all users of TWiki. Your [[WikiName]] will be in this list after you register.
-- Go to the %USERSWEB%.TWikiGroups topic in the %USERSWEB% web; it has a list of groups which can be used to define fine grained [[TWikiAccessControl]] in TWiki.

-
-The color-coded control strips at the top and/or bottom of the page has a collection of action links. Different skins show different links, but most will have some or all of::
-
-- <code>**Edit**</code> - add to or edit the topic (discussed later)
-- <code>**Raw View**</code> - show the source text without editing the topic
-- <code>**Attach**</code> - attach files to a topic (discussed later)
-- <code>**Backlinks**</code> - find out what other topics link to this topic (reverse link)
-- <code>**Printable**</code> - goes to a stripped down version of the page, good for printing
-- <code>**History**</code> - topics are under revision control - `History` shows you the complete change history of the topic, for example, who changed what and when
-- <code>**r3 > r2 > r1**</code> - view a previous version of the topic or the difference between two versions
-- <code>**More**</code> - additional controls, such as rename/move, version control and setting the topic's parent.

-
-Go to the [[Sandbox|Sandbox/WebHome]]. This is the sandbox web, where you can make changes and try it all out at will.
-
-- Click the <code>**Edit**</code> link. You are now in edit mode and you can see the source of the page. (Go to a different topic like Sandbox.adminSandbox if you see a "Topic is being edited by an other user" warning.)
-- Look at the text in edit mode and compare it with the rendered page (move back and forth in your browser.)
-- **_%T% Tip:_** When you only want to see the source code of a topic click the <code>**Raw View**</code> link.
-- Notice how [[WikiWords]] are linked automatically; there is no link if you look at the text in edit mode.
-- Now, create a new topic - your own test page:
- 1. In edit mode, enter a new text with a [[WikiWord]], for example: <br />`This is adminSandbox topic.`
- 2. Preview and save the topic. The name appears, highlighted, with a linked question mark at the end. This means that the topic doesn't exist yet.
- 3. Click on the question mark. Now you're in edit mode of the new topic.
- 4. Type some text, basically, like you write an e-mail.
- 5. A signature with your name is already entered by default. **_NOTE:_** The `%USERSWEB%.` in front of your name means that you have a link from the current web to your personal topic located in the %USERSWEB% web.
- 6. Preview and save the topic...
-- Learn about text formatting. You can enter text in TWikiShorthand, a very simple markup language. Follow the [[TWikiShorthand]] link to see how, then:
- 1. Go back to your sandbox topic end edit it.
- 2. Enter some text in [[TWikiShorthand]]: **bold** text, _italic_ text, **_bold italic_** text, a bullet list, tables, paragraphs, etc. **_Hint:_** If you need help, click on the [[TextFormattingRules]] link located below the text box in edit mode.
- 3. Preview and save the topic.
-
-## <a name="7. Use your browser to upload fi"></a> 7. Use your browser to upload files as page attachments...
-
-You can attach _any_ type of file to a topic - documents, images, programs, whatever - where they can be opened, viewed, or downloaded.
-
-- Attaching files is just like including a file with an e-mail.
- 1. Go back to your sandbox topic and click on the <code>**[Attach]**</code> link at the bottom.
- 2. Click <code>**[Browse]**</code> to find a file on your PC that you'd like to attach; enter an optional comment; leave everything else unchecked.
- 3. Click <code>**[Upload file]**</code>, then scroll to the end of the page to see the new attachment listing.
-- Do this again - this time, upload a GIF, JPG or PNG image file.
- - Check the <code>**[Link:]**</code> box to _Create a link to the attached file at the end of the topic_. The image will show up at the bottom of the topic.
- - To move the image, edit the topic and place the last line (containing `%ATTACHURL%`) anywhere on the page.
-- If you have a GIF, JPG or PNG image of yourself, your cat, your sprawling family estate...why not upload it now to personalize your account page Main.admin?

-
-[[WebNotify]] is a subscription service that automatically notifies you by e-mail when topics change in a TWiki web. This is a convenience service - for many people, checking e-mail is easier than checking the Web.
-
-- If you're using TWiki to collaborate on a project, it's important to know when anyone on your team posts an update. If you're following a specific discussion, it's convenient to know when there's new input.
-- Alerts are e-mailed as links to individual topics that've been changed in a set period: each day, every hour, whatever is configured for your system.
-- It's strongly recommended that you try out the service by subscribing to each TWiki web that's relevant to you. You can subscribe and unsubscribe instantly, on a per web basis using [[WebNotify]].
-
-That's it! You're now equipped with all the TWiki essentials. You are ready to roll.
-
-**_NOTE:_** When first using TWiki, it will probably seem strange to be able to change other people's postings - we're used to _separating_ individual messages, with e-mail, message boards, non-Wiki collaboration platforms. **_Don't worry about it._** You can't accidentally delete important stuff - you can always check previous versions, and copy-and-paste from them if you want to undo any changes. After a short while, TWiki-style free-form communication becomes second-nature. You'll expect it everywhere!
