Once you land in the section click on Add New and you will arrive at the interface to create an article.

You need to fill in the following details:

1.1 Title

Make sure the title is a meaningful one. We recommend you include the full name of the product or feature you are writing about.

1.2 Format

When writing articles in the Tech Community you use a WYSWYG editor to post content.
The page will be rendered using HTML.

1.3 HTML

It allows you to add flash or YouTube videos to your pages by embedding them in the HTML source.
You can check and edit the HTML code directly by clicking on the Source button.

1.4 Attachments

You can upload additional documents, images, code samples, and etc. You can do it either by drag and drop the files or by “Select Files” and uploading them to the article.

1.5 Tags

‘Tags’ field is mandatory if tags are missing you will not be able to save and publish your article. You can add as many tags as you wish. We strongly recommend you to Select Tags from the list with checkboxes.

Here are some of the benefits of adding the right tags:

  • Your article will appear on the relevant product landing pages
  • The content will appear under the right product category

1.6 Related Assets

While editing an article you will notice the feature Related assets below the tag list. With the help of it, readers can get an easy access to selected articles from the Blog or the Tips, Tricks and Code section (Wiki page).

2. Page content

A good wiki page consists of:

2.1 Introduction

The intro is a short summary of your article or tutorial. The introduction provides context and gives a brief overview of what the article includes. Few recommendations:

  • Keep it brief - Introductions don't have to be long.
  • Present the reason for the post's existence 
  • Include details on an applicable version - this will help to identify the relevance of the resource at a first glance

A good example of introduction:

Supported Version: 9.12 onwards
