• Description. Brief.  Optional.
• Guide Type. Optional but you can choose ‘Internal’ if you want.

• Password:  don't enter one
• Share Guide Content?:  click the box that says "No"
• Click "Create Guide" at the bottom
• Your new guide pops up & looks very much like this one, but it has a different name up to the left under the banner.

 Get it ready to share

• Upload your curricular change proposal and other materials in the proposals box. You don't need to do anything with the other boxes - they are informational.
  • To upload a document, click on the "Add/Reorder" box and click on whatever is most appropriate which in most cases will be "Document / File." 
  • Use the naming conventions described in the box.
• To change the Publication Status look for the colorful dropdown menu on the top right that says: Unpublished.
  1. Click on down arrow and select Change Status & Share
  2. In the box that pops up, change the status of your guide to Private by selecting Private from the drop down menu next to the words Publication Status.
  3. Click on the Save button right next to it.  
  4. Click on the Close button at bottom left when finished.
  5. Your guide will now be listed as Private in the top right of page which means it is only visible to those who know the URL.
• Friendly URL:  only if you want to; it's optional. (see directions below if you choose to do this)
  1. Look for edit pencil next to the guide’s URL, located under the guide name in the line that starts with Last Updated… (it’s the last thing in that line).
  2. Click on edit pencil, then a box appears.
  3. Type in your Friendly URL in the box.
  4. Click on Save.

• Once you are done loading your documents and you are ready to start getting signatures you must first send the URL of your new guide to Raida Gatten to set up the signature page for your LibGuide. (If you don't do this step, people will not have anywhere to sign off).
• Your signature page will be set up and it will also list the "next steps" info.  The instructions will be sent to you via email.
