SOAPedia is a web site and has all the same functions you would normally expect. You can bookmark specific pages with your browser, use the Forward and Back commands, and click on links to other pages. (Links are usually displayed as underlined blue text.)
Site Layout
SOAPedia is designed to be familiar and easy to use. To get a feel for what you see, browse our Site Layout page to get more details on the wiki features.
Finding Information
SOAPedia offers several ways to find the information you need. Each has its advantages.
- Navigation Tree - Drill down through the sections to discover your information and new information related to it.
- Searching - Quick access to any and all pages with your search keywords.
- Recent Changes - See what is new and updated.
Navigation Tree
SOAPedia has a Navigation Tree listed along the left side of the screen. As you move through SOAPedia, the Navigation Tree will update to reflect your current location. Simply click on any of the items listed in the Navigation Tree to display that particular page. You can always move back to the 'Home' page for SOAPedia by clicking on the SOAPedia Home link at the top of the Navigation Tree.
For more details on the Navigation Tree features, visit our Navigation Tree help.
Searching
Using a powerful Google search engine, you can instantly search the entire contents of SOAPedia by using the 'Search' button located in the upper right corner. It's just like using Google - enter some text to search for and press 'Search'. All of the pages that match your text will be listed along with a brief synopsis.
Recent Changes
Because the content on SOAPedia changes often, SOAPedia has a simple way to instantly see those changes the past day or two. The Tools menu in the top Site Bar is a selection: 'Recent Changes'. Clicking on this command will take you to a new page that will list all changes to SOAPedia chronologically. In general, this is only useful for changes made very recently (i.e. the past 24 hours) due the volume of additions and changes. In 2008, over 3000 pages have been added to SOAPedia and the changes number in the hundreds of thousands.
