Guide 3

Craft CMS is intuitive. Marketing plans and organizational workflows—not so much. Guide lets you create a user manual throughout Craft CMS so content authors don‘t need to go far to get the answers they need.

Guide was built to be a CMS manual, but Guide 3 is also a quick way to create widgets and unique Craft CP pages, without the use of a custom module or the need for PHP.

Display your guides within a Control Panel section, on content edit pages, and in Dashboard widgets. Guides can be added to any page in the control panel—plugin setting pages, element index pages, wherever you decide.

The Guide Organizer shows you all of the guides in your CMS and makes it easy to add them around the Craft CP.

Content authors can also collaborate and contribute by editing guides right within Craft CMS. A built-in code editor makes it easy to write and edit guides using Twig components, Markdown, and Tailwind CSS—based utility classes.
