Let's see the niceties that the latest Zoho Wiki update has brought in.

Tag Cloud
Tagging of pages is there in Zoho Wiki for quite a long time now. But having all tags as a tag cloud has been the missing part. This has now been included. Under Wiki -> Settings -> Customization, you will find the tag cloud as one of the side panel elements.


You can click on a tag or search by tag and get all the pages matching that tag listed.

      

New Widgets
Zoho Wiki allows embedding of quite a few widgets. New ones for blip.tv and W3Counter have been added. The tag cloud described above can be added as an embeddable widget in a page, and there is a widget for breadcrumbs too.


Other Usability Improvements
The drop-down menus at the top-right have now been improved. Sub-menus under Wiki -> Settings and My Menu -> My Settings have been added.

   

Hope you like the new changes in Zoho Wiki.

Zoho Wiki has been offering a zipped backup option of all your wiki pages for quite sometime now. And this got better with this update. You now have the option to set an automatically scheduled backup everyday. Click on the Settings link and you'll find the URL in the BackUp section.

You need to copy the URL marked in the image and add it to your 'Scheduled Tasks' in Windows or run it as a cronjob in Linux. Your wiki pages will be backed up regularly at the said time (11 pm to 12 am PST) everyday.

The equation editor and LaTex format support that's been present in Zoho Writer is now available in Zoho Wiki too. Students and educators will make the best use of this feature, we believe.

The last Zoho Wiki update introduced bulk comment delete. You can now do bulk page operations too. Like deleting, giving permission & copying of multiple pages.

Zoho Wiki supports re-branding of logos & re-directing to custom URLs. And a customer asked us for changing the browser favicon from the default Zoho Wiki's. This is now possible too. Click on Settings -> Customization tab and you can upload your own favicon. [Note : This feature is available for premium Zoho Wiki users only, as of now]

Custom Favicon
