What is a plugin?

 

A plugin is small widget or program that can be viewed by your browser and displays various types of content.  With PBworks, you can insert lots of different kinds of plugins, depending on what your page needs.

 

 

 

How do I use plugins?

  1. Enter "Edit Mode" of the page you want to embed the plugin into.
  2. Click the “Insert Plugin” button.

  3. You'll be shown a menu of available plugin categories.

  4. When you place your mouse over each category, a list of available plugins will appear.  Click on the plugin you want to use.

     

 

 

 

 

How can I move or adjust the alignment of my plugin on the page?

Once you have inserted a plugin on your workspace page, you can easily move it by clicking the green plugin box and dragging it to the correct location. 

 

You can also align your plugin to the right or left of text.  Just follow these steps:

 

  1. Click the plugin so you can see the property boxes on each corner.

     

  2. Next right click (or hold down Control and click on the Mac) the plugin box, and a short menu will appear. 

     

  3. Chose 'Image Properties' and adjust the alignment of your plugin.  Click OK, and save the page when you are done making your adjustments.
