Of course the latter modality is more powerful, so we suggest to start using "Visual Editor" (which in turns generates wiki text in a transparent way) and to "switch" to the source editor more frequently as possible, because from there you can adjust the page in a more precise way and you have access to an astonishing number of features.

 '''CI tools section''' (picture 5), it contains the link "Create or edit page" which will bring you to a form where you can search for existing pages to edit, or to create new ones. The input takes into account the organization to which you are affiliated so that you have not to insert the complete path each time. The section also contains the link "Import data", from where you can import multiple records of a given kind (like Articles, News, etc.) from a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values csv] or [https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_objects.asp json] file: this feature has been created specifically for [[How it works/Private WIKIs|Private WIKIs]] where for instance you need to import all your organization's contacts or audience, rather than creating them manually one by one.
