Create & Add Content to a Step

Learn how to start documenting the core company, process, and procedural information of your business playbook.

Steps are where you'll record individual nuggets of information in a preferred sequence under a topic title that outlines specific company, process, or procedural information. Think of this action as writing the actual paragraphs in your training books, with topics being the chapter titles and subjects being the book titles.
