The LibreTexts libraries are powered by the Mindtouch system. An exhaustive set of references for the tools on this powerful system can be found online at https://success.mindtouch.com/Author/Editor. The pages below summarize a subset of these tools that are useful in day-to-day use of the LibreTexts project.
An Instructor's account allows editing capability on essentially all pages in the library
- The wiki infrastructure of the LibreTexts makes it difficult to break anything. So feel free to experiment, play around, and test things out.
- All edits are saved as revisions. You can always revert to any older revision via the “Revision history” button under “Options”
- All edits get sent to the LibreTexts development team for eventual review (not approval).
- You can sign up with your personal account to “Watch” page(s) if any edits occur (using the little star next to forward/back right below the page title).
- 3.1: Successfully Logging In
- Before editing a page, you must first log in to the Libretexts AND have an account that has editing capabilities.
- 3.2: Editing a Page
- A Quick-Edit tutorial on how to edit pages in the LibreText platform.
- 3.3: Adding Images and Figures and Video
- A Quick-Edit tutorial on how to add figures to pages in the LibreText platform.
- 3.4: Adding Videos (YouTube)

- 3.12: Adding Summary
- In the Page Settings of each LibreTexts page is a summary block that will accept approximately three lines of text. Think of the summary as a tweet (viz. Twitter) on the subject of the page. It is almost the same length as a tweet and has a similar impact.
- 3.13: Watching, Rating, and Providing Feedback for a Page
- A Quick-Edit tutorial on how to watch, rate and provide feedback on content in the LibreText platform.
