Stonly's default content format are step-by-step interactive guides that support branching and adapting to the reader.

Articles are a standard format well known from other platforms. They're static and single-page and you can use them for simple pieces of content that don't require branching or interactive features.

Same as guides, articles can be displayed standalone, placed inside a knowledge base, or launched from triggers.

Creating articles

To create an article:

  1. Sign into Stonly and open the Guides tab.

  2. Click Add new in the top right and select Article.

Articles can be managed from the Guides view, the same as other types of content.
