## Keep what the team knows in one place

The wiki is your workspace's knowledge base, with pages in collections that the whole team reads and writes together.

On Business and higher, pages nest inside other pages, you can share a private page with chosen people, and comments stay on the text they discuss.

## Build a section from nested pages

There are two ways to create a nested page:

- In a page, type `/page` and press Enter. Plane creates a nested page and adds a block for it at your cursor.
- Hover a page in the sidebar and choose the plus beside it. Plane creates a nested page and opens it.

A nested page takes its parent's access, collection, and shares. Change who can see the parent, and every page beneath it follows.

To nest an existing page, drag it onto another in the sidebar. If that changes who can see it, Plane asks first.

Nesting has no depth limit, and it works in project and teamspace pages too.

## Share a page and settle a thread

Wiki pages are either public, for everyone who uses the wiki, or private, for their owner and anyone they share them with. Only the owner can share, and only from the top-level page.

1. Choose **Share** and add members.
2. Set each to **can view**, **can comment**, or **can edit**.
3. Choose **Share** again to save.

The page moves to **Shared** in each person's sidebar, and only the owner can lock, archive, move, or delete it.

**Lock** stops every edit, the owner's included. On a page with nested pages, **Lock page and all subpages** covers the whole section.

To discuss a sentence:

1. Select it and choose **Comment**. The thread opens in the **Comments** panel, under **Inline**.
2. When it's settled, hover the thread and choose **Mark as resolved**. The sentence loses its highlight.

Everyone who can open the page sees its threads, and anyone with comment or edit access can reply. **Show resolved** under **Filters** brings a resolved thread back.

## Restore a version and export

Plane keeps one version per person per editing session, and a pause of over ten minutes starts a new one.

1. Open **Version history** from the page's menu. The panel lists versions by day with their editors, and a page keeps its twenty newest.
2. Select one to read it with its changes highlighted, or choose **Compare versions** and pick any two.
3. Choose **Restore this version**, and it becomes the current page. The restore shows up as a new version of its own.

Restoring a parent page also resets its nested pages. It deletes pages added since that version and brings back deleted ones.

To export:

1. Choose **Export** in the page's menu.
2. Pick **PDF** or **Markdown**, with or without images.
3. For PDF, turn on **Include nested pages** to pack the whole section into one ZIP, a file per page, up to a hundred pages.

The export runs while the dialog stays open, then downloads. Leaving the page cancels it. Markdown exports only the open page.

One handbook section now holds its steps as nested pages, a private page reaches only the people it's for, and the thread is resolved.

## Try it

Open a wiki page, type /page, and press Enter to create a nested page under it.

### Keep what the team knows in one place

The wiki is your workspace's knowledge base, with pages in collections that the whole team reads and writes together.

On Business and higher, pages nest inside other pages, you can share a private page with chosen people, and comments stay on the text they discuss.

You'll build a handbook section from nested pages, share a private page, resolve a thread, restore a version, and export the section. Let's take a closer look.

### Build a section from nested pages

In a page, type /page and press Enter. Plane creates a nested page and adds a block for it at your cursor.

Or hover a page in the sidebar and choose the plus beside it, which creates a nested page and opens it.

A nested page takes its parent's access, collection, and shares. Change who can see the parent, and every page beneath it follows.

Drag an existing page onto another in the sidebar to nest it. If that changes who can see it, Plane asks first.

Nesting has no depth limit, and it works in project and teamspace pages too.

### Share a page and settle a thread

Wiki pages are either public, for everyone who uses the wiki, or private, for their owner and anyone they share them with.

Only the owner can share, and only from the top-level page. Choose Share, add members, and set each to can view, can comment, or can edit.

Choose Share again to save. The page moves to Shared in each person's sidebar, and only the owner can lock, archive, move, or delete it.

Lock stops every edit, the owner's included. On a page with nested pages, Lock page and all subpages covers the whole section.

To discuss a sentence, select it and choose Comment. The thread opens in the Comments panel, under Inline.

Everyone who can open the page sees its threads, and anyone with comment or edit access can reply.

When it's settled, hover the thread and choose Mark as resolved. The sentence loses its highlight, and Show resolved under Filters brings the thread back.

### Restore a version and export

Plane keeps one version per person per editing session, and a pause of over ten minutes starts a new one.

Open Version history from the page's menu. The panel lists versions by day with their editors, and a page keeps its twenty newest.

Select one to read it with its changes highlighted, or choose Compare versions and pick any two.

Restoring a parent page also resets its nested pages. It deletes pages added since that version and brings back deleted ones.

Choose Restore this version, and it becomes the current page. The restore shows up as a new version of its own.

To export, choose Export in the page's menu, then pick PDF or Markdown, with or without images.

For PDF, Include nested pages packs the whole section into one ZIP, a file per page, up to 100 pages.

The export runs while the dialog stays open, then downloads. Leaving the page cancels it. Markdown exports only the open page.
