1. Click the edit or create new page button to open the page in edit mode.

Note: JotSpot supports three edit modes: WYSIWYG, Markup, and XML. Your user preferences include an option to set your default edit mode. To launch the WYSIWYG editor by default, set your edit style preference to WYSIWYG. You can also explicitly select an edit mode when you edit a page--see Switching between editing modes for more information.

2. Compose the content of your page. With the WYSIWYG editor, you can format your content using a familiar set of editing controls and see the results as you work. Browse the WYSIWYG editor's features for more information.

3. Click Preview to see what your content will look like when it has been saved or Cancel if you change your mind about creating or editing a new page. When you like your content, click Save to make your new page permanent.

JotSpot assigns Version Number 1 to the newly created page. Every time the page is revised, a new revision is created--previous revisions are not overwritten, you can access and recover them at any time.

The bottom line? None of your JotSpot changes vanish unless you delete a page entirely. You can't lose anything in Jot, at least not for long.
