+====== Introduction to Victron Live ======
 ===== Why a wiki? =====
-Victron Software and hardware products develop at an incredible pace. The number of differing combinations and configurations has exploded with the advent of the Assistants. This is fantastic, but also creates quite a challenge: to maintain up to date documentation. This wiki allows us to keep the (software related) documentation up to date far more easily and as a live document. Everyone within the Victron organization (Sales, R&D, Service) and even Victron customers and end-users alike can make changes.

This wiki allows us to keep some of the (software related) documentation up to date far more easily and as a live document.
-==== Commenting ====
-There is a Disqus commenting section below each page. Use it to ask questions and put forward suggestions. The comments are monitored by Victron staff.

-==== Editing pages ====
-To edit pages, subscribe and login first. After logging in, you will be able to edit all existing pages. There are two editors, a graphical one (CKG Edit) and one that lets you edit the raw text (DW Edit). Use the button below the edit box to switch between them. Both have their advantages.
-Tip:Try the DW Edit (Native DokuWiki Editor) first, as opposed to CKG Edit.
-It helps to learn, and saves having to formally learn the formatting syntax or markup language. In DW Edit you can copy and paste the syntax from an existing page, to create new parts of a page. Or just use experiment using the toolbar. It's less daunting once you try!
-Handy reference pages.

-Victron staff will receive an email of all changes made.
-==== Adding images ====
-Images can be added through the media manager, and even easier is to copy and simply paste the image in the editor. Note that this doesn't work in all browsers and/or depends on privacy settings. For some computers it works only in Internet Explorer, and on others it works in Chrome and Firefox as well.
-Tip: use the Snipping tool in Windows to make screenshots.
+If all is done well, the current subscriptions overview, available from the same Manage subscription button, looks like this:
