- Click Create.
Adding content to your Guide

Adding a Guide Tab
Once you've created the Guide, you need to add in at least one tab. To get you started, add the Article Directory tab. In the next section- Guide Tabs, we will dive into the differences between the available guide tabs.
Expert structure dictates that articles exist within guides. Guide tabs allow organizational control over how you are presenting the articles.
