About the Start a New Guidebook Wizard

• Click this button to initiate the start of a new Facilitator Guide or Participant Guide

2. You will see the Start a New Guidebook wizard 

• You will use this wizard to establish the specifics of your new guidebook

3. Let's walk through the fields of this wizard

Name & Course ID

1. Name: Type in the name of your course

   • The course name you add here will populate as your file name when you are initially prompted to save. You can change the file name as needed

   • This name will also appear on the cover page, in the About This Guide section, and in the even-numbered page footers of your new guidebook

   • Once you are in your new guidebook, go to the cover page to edit the name if needed. Your new name will automatically update everywhere else

2. Course ID: Type in an optional course ID.

   • The ID can be used to search for your guidebook in Windows File Explorer

Type & Columns

1. Type: Select Facilitator or Participant

   • Optionally you can also select Content Part, which builds just a Module and Lesson chunk

   • eLearning Reference will create a guidebook to align with an Articulate course

2. Columns: We recommend using 3-column for Facilitator Guides and 2-column for Participant Guides

   • You will have the option to adjust the number of columns for specific Content Blocks as you start working in your guidebook

Collection Name & Print

1. Collection Name: Select the Collection to use to apply the cover page design, fonts, styles, and icons that will be used to establish the look & feel of your new guidebook

   • The Default Collection is set as your preferred Collection when you first start using LeaderGuide Pro

   • Click Custom to see the list of included Collections

2. Print: We recommend leaving this setting as 2-Sided

• • This way, if you print your Guidebook, it will be set up properly - like a book.
