Note: The legend below provides the meaning of the acronyms and footnotes used in the table:
  • (1) Community owners always have access to private pages.
  • (2) Wiki page privacy can be switched only if the parent page is public.
  • (3) Lock applies only to the page title and content, not to the tree structure:
    • The Lock this page and all sub-pages command, will be effective at the time of the action so any newly created page will not be locked.
    • A locked page can be moved within the tree.
  • (4) MM stands for Moderation Mode.
  • (5) When working on a private page it applies only to Contributors and Authors declared as authorized users on this private page.
