- Expand the Content Package in which you want to create Guidance
until you see the Method Elements (Roles, Tasks, Work Products, Guidance).

type". The guidance editor for that particular guidance type opens.
- The following guidance types have the same editor
which includes a Description tab, a Guidance tab, and a Preview tab:
- Use the fields in the editor to specify the guidance details. Start
by assigning a unique name to the guidance element along with a presentation
name that is used as the external visible name when other elements refer to
this element, or when the element is published. Every guidance type has specific
content fields in the content editor that are distributed over two or more
stacked tabs. Use the content fields to describe your guidance type.
