Help:Editing Pathways
From WikiPathways
Editing Pathways
In addition to editing the text fields on a given Pathway Page, this wiki also support the ability to edit the pathway itself! Click on "EDIT" on any Pathway Page and a webstart version of the PathVisio program will open with the current pathway loaded. You can then add, edit or delete content from the pathway. When you save, updated version of the images, controlled text, and data files are generated and are immediately available. Try it out in the Sandbox pathway!
Editing with PathVisio webstart
Pathway editing for WikiPathways is done in a webstart version of PathVisio. PathVisio supports a number of common drawing tools, as well as an interface for linking objects on pathways to an underlying gene database. For detailed instructions on how to use the PathVisio program please refer to PathVisio Help and PathVisio FAQ.
Pathway Description
Each Pathway Page includes a Description section, which contains a description of the pathway. When editing a pathway, a brief description of the pathway or process can be added to this section by clicking the Edit link next to the Description section.
Pathway Bibliography
Each Pathway Page includes a Bibliography section, designed to hold reference information relevant to the pathway. When editing a pathway, any references to publications, textbooks and websites can be added to this section by clicking the Edit link next to the Bibliography section. Details on how to incorporate literature references can be found here.
