Inserting Images, videos, or even documents is very easy to do and can enhance your wiki.  Let's start with Images and documents.  The first thing you need to do is upload the file to your wiki.  In edit mode you will see Insert links on the right hand side.  Click on "Images and files" and a list of the files in your wiki will appear underneath.  Keep in mind that anyone who can edit the page has access to the files you upload.  Click browse, find the picture you want in your computer, click open and then upload,  The file will appear below.  Place the cursor where you wish the file to appear and simply click the image or document file.  The image or file will appear.  It is just that easy.
