Introduction

Writing/Editing pages for a user guide is slightly more difficult than writing stand-alone pages due to the extra editing that must be performed. To add a new page, edits will need to be made to:

• The online contents page e.g. QESTLab:User_Guide
• The pages preceeding and following the new page in order to adjust the links in the headers and footers
• The printable version of the user guide e.g. QESTLab:User_guide_module_1_-_system_administration&printable=yes

This document will look to introduce the basic concepts by adding a new page to the QESTLab user guide.
