Edit on GitHub

The pages of a synced space come from GitHub, so you change them on GitHub. Each synced page has a button that opens its source file in the GitHub editor.

Edit a page

1. Open the page in the wiki app or on the published site.
2. Click Edit on GitHub in the wiki app, or Edit on the published page.
3. GitHub opens the file in a new tab. Make your change and commit it.

The button opens this URL:

https://github.com/<owner>/<repository>/edit/<branch>/<path to the file>

The wiki shows your change after the next sync. If the GitHub App has a working webhook, the push starts the sync. Else, click Sync now. See Sync a space.

Who can use it

On the published site, the Edit button shows for every reader, also when they are not signed in. The wiki does not check roles for it. GitHub decides what each person can do:

• People with write access to the repository can commit to the branch.
• Other people can fork the repository and open a pull request.

Groups

A group opens the README.md or index.md of its folder. A group that has no such file has no source to edit, so it has no edit button. A group from the items of a sidebar config file has no file either. See Folder structure and .wiki.yml.
