Tabs in a Wiki There are four different tabs in a Wiki The first tab is the users individual page and uploads The second tab is a Discussion tab so that different people can make comments or if our group wanted to take more about what our presentation is for The History tab keeps track of changes made to the Wiki and what changes that were made For example if I were to change a picture on my page the date would be recorded. I could then go back and click the date and see what I changed on that day The last tab is the Notify Me tab is another tab that keeps track of changes but people can be notified of the change through the e-mail they signed up through
