## Open the wiki

- Choose **Navigation → Wiki** in the top menu. The menu describes it as *Internal knowledge base*.
- You can make the wiki your home page in your profile settings.
- From anywhere in BlueHill, press **⌘K** (or **Ctrl+K**) and type a page name. Wiki results are grouped under **Wiki pages**. See [Search from anywhere](./wiki-find-pages#search-from-anywhere).

## The header

The header shows, from left to right:

- The title **Wiki** and, right after it, the **knowledge base switcher**. It names the knowledge base you are working in, with a book icon for an internal one and a globe for a public one. See [Switch knowledge base](./wiki-knowledge-bases-and-folders#switch-knowledge-base).
- If your workspace has a public help center, a pair of tabs, **Internal** and **Help center**. **Internal** is the wiki as your team uses it and is what these guides describe. **Help center** is the dashboard for the public site and is covered in the Help Center guides. The tab you choose is remembered in your browser.
- On the right, **New page**, **Import** and **Export all**. **New page** opens an empty editor; **Import** opens the import page; **Export all** downloads every page as a zip of markdown files. See [Create a page](./wiki-create-a-page) and [Import and export](./wiki-import-and-export).

## The toolbar

Above the page list:

- **Search the wiki…** finds pages as you type. See [Search from the sidebar](./wiki-find-pages#search-from-the-sidebar).
- **Filters** opens a small panel with one filter, **Owner**, set to *Any* until you pick *My pages* or a teammate. **Clear all** resets it and **Save as view** keeps it.
- The **sort** button (two arrows) opens a menu with **Sort by** (**Last updated**, **Title** or **Date created**) and **Order** (for example *Recently updated* or *Least recently updated*). The default is *Last updated*, most recent first.
- **Views** saves the current owner filter and sort under a name so you can reapply them with one click.

A banner just below the toolbar, **N broken wiki links — review**, appears only when a page links to a page that does not exist. See [Broken links](./wiki-link-pages-to-work#broken-links).

## Pins and the page list

- **My pins** lists the pages you pinned for yourself. It appears only when you have some, and it ignores the owner filter.
- **Pinned** lists the pages pinned for everyone in the workspace.
- Below them, the page list follows the sort you chose; its heading says so, for example **Recently updated** or **Title A–Z**. It shows up to 25 pages from across your knowledge bases; only the sidebar tree is limited to the active one.

Each row shows the page title, a pin icon when it is pinned, a **draft** or **archived** chip when the page is not published, the first line of the page, then the folder it lives in, when and by whom it was last updated, its version number and its tags. Sample pages created by BlueHill carry an **Example** badge.

When a knowledge base has no pages at all, the list is replaced by **Start your wiki**, with a **New page** button and a link to the setup guide. See [Pins](./wiki-find-pages#pins) for how to pin a page.

## The sidebar

The sidebar on the left stays with you on every wiki page.

- The top row holds **Search wiki**, a **+** button (**New page**, which opens the template picker) and a **⋯** button (**More**) with **New folder**, **Import** and **Hide sidebar**.

- When the active knowledge base is public, a strip reads **Public · N live · N drafts** with the help center's address. Clicking it switches to the **Help center** tab.
- The **page tree** lists folders first, then pages. Subpages sit indented under their parent, and archived pages collect in a collapsed **Archived (N)** group at the bottom. Hover a row for its **⋮** menu. See [The page tree](./wiki-knowledge-bases-and-folders#the-page-tree).
- **Tags** shows the twelve most-used tags in the workspace; click one to see its pages, or **All tags →** for the rest. The **Tags** heading opens the tag management page. See [Tags](./wiki-find-pages#tags).
- The footer holds **Reviews** (with the number waiting on you) and **Analytics**. Workspaces with a help center see them under a **Help center** heading together with **Arrange**, **SEO health**, **AI assistant** and **Site settings**, and a **N broken links** item appears when there are any. The analytics and the help center tools are described in the Help Center guides.

Drag the sidebar's right edge to make it wider or narrower, and double-click the edge to reset it. **Hide sidebar** collapses it to a single **Show pages** button.

## On the mobile app

The BlueHill mobile app's **Wiki** tab has three views: **Home** (pins and the sorted page list, with sort and owner chips), **Tree** (the folders and pages of one knowledge base, with a knowledge base picker and **New folder**) and **Tags**. The header offers **Search**, **New page** and **Wiki tools**, which collects **Reviews**, **Tags**, **Knowledge bases**, **Broken links**, **Analytics**, **Import**, **Export everything (.zip)** and **Help center**. Reading, commenting and editing work the same way as on the web.
