Guide is an author’s notebook and a developer’s best friend.

Content authors can create and manage their own CMS Guide, create pages in Craft CMS’s Control Panel, and manage their own content shown in widgets and slideout panels on entry edit pages.

Developers can use Guide instead of writing custom modules and site-specific plugins that provide reports, content-editing warnings, and tools that customize the author-experience around Craft CMS’s Control Panel.

Guide makes it easy to share helpful information all around the Craft CMS Control panel, so content authors don‘t need to go far to get the answers they need.


Guide content (AKA guides) can be written in Markdown or Twig using the built-in text editor. When using Twig you can use anything available in Craft CMS’s Twig tags, methods, and filters—and you can even use Twig code provided by other plugins.

The Guide Organizer shows you all of the guides in your CMS and makes it easy to add them around the Craft CMS Control Panel. Guides can appear on their own standalone pages, in slideouts, as widgets, and amongst editing fields in UI Elements. With a little CSS know-how you can even use Guide to add HTML elements to the Control Panel UI.
