CNM Wiki is the document collaboration system that CNM Cyber brings to you as a service. Document collaboration systems usually help multiple people work together on single documents to achieve their distinguished latest versions. When you are at CNM Wiki, you can click "edit" and contribute to its content.

There are two types of document collaboration systems. Collaborative realtime editors such as Google Docs and other web-based office suites belong to one type.

CNM Cyber's document collaboration system utilizes another type, wiki engine, because of two reasons. First of all, wiki is more widespread in the information technology industry. Second, wiki engines are robust when it comes to tracking, which is vital in the learning process.

Using its version control tool, CNM Wiki tracks different versions of those textual documents that have been developed there. This feature is called "history." Using that feature, older versions can be accessed and any revision can be "undo" or reversed.

If you go to the top of any wikipage at CNM Wiki, you can see on some right the View history tab. If you open it, you should be able to see every revision which has ever been made on the wikipage. For instance, you can find the oldest one to see when the particular wikipage was created and even how it looked like when it was created.

For images, CNM Wiki has its software repository. If you click on any image at CNM Wiki, you should be able to find original files, as well as who and when uploaded them.

Talk pages allows developers to talk to each other. On the top of any wikipage as well, but now on its left, next to the "Page" tab, there is the "Discussion" tab. If you click here, you will get to another page attached to the main one. Here, you can write anything that you feel like other contributors should be aware of. Regular visitors would rarely get here, but other developers can get the message.

Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning quick and refers to fast editing of the content.

CNM Wiki belongs to the Competency Suite. However, its features such as talk pages, software repository, version control, make it a development hub. For example, this welcome course was developed at CNM Wiki before it was published at CNM Cert. This course's texts including its exam questions can still be viewed at CNM Wiki. To find them, you can search CNM Wiki for CNM Cyber Welcome Course.
