What is this?

This describes how the AMBIT Community of Practice "browsing panel" in the openeing page (+ Getting started) works to allow a editing member of one version of the AMBIT manual to browse what other teams have been writing about in their versions, and to copy pages that they have created so as to avoid "re-inventing the wheel".



Notes on Browsing the Community of Practice

  • At + Getting started you will find a button that slides open a panel titled "Browse the Community of Practice".
  • This lists out the most recent edits made by teams who have had AMBIT training and are part of the AMBIT Community of Practice.

  • You can click on the heading of any page you are interested in to see a preview snippet.
  • Using the "Go To" button you can then open that page within that team's local version of the manual (this opens in a separate tab in your web browser.)

  • If you are logged in and switched to Edit mode in the local manual you are looking at, then by clicking on a page title (so long as you don't already have a page of the same title) you will reveal:

"Go To" button:

This button opens a copy of the page you are interested in a separate browsing tab so you can have a proper look at what is there.

"Clone and Customise" button:

If there is no version of a page already in your own manual, then clicking this button instantly "clones" a copy of that team's new page into your own manual
    • In this way you can start to build upon their good work.
    • The original page that you have now cloned will be marked to say how many others have cloned it - praise indeed.
    • Your cloned version will be marked as "cloned from xxxxx"
