=== Bela: Create a new article ===
=== Bela: Create a new article ===
#A discussion in the contributors forum reveals the need for a new KB article.
#From her KB Editors group dashboard, Bela clicks on the "create a new article" item.
#Bela starts a new thread in the articles forum which automatically creates a new article with the name of the thread.  
#She is taken to a new article in [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View|Edit View]].  
#Following the link in the thread she just created, Bela is taken to the article editor.
#She adds the main article title (doing this also creates a discussion forum for the article)
#In the article editor Bela notices that the editable url field has been automatically filled in for the article. She decides to use the default url for the moment.
#The article already contains one resizable section with a rich text editor.
#Next Bela chooses from number of different templates that are grouped by article type (troubleshooting, tutorial, reference, etc)
#Bella drags the bottom right corner to create some room for her to work.
#Once she chooses a template the editor window is filled in with wiki markup in a medium gray color and sample content in red text.  
#She then starts by writing the introduction.
#By default the editor's active tab is for Windows content for the latest version of Firefox (Fx 4).
#Since this article will apply to many different OSes and Firefox versions, she sets these in the Showfor section of the sidebar.
#Bela then goes about replacing the sample content with her own writing which is in black text.
#As she continues to work on the introduction, she gets to a section that will contain information for different OSes. She writes them out in one sentence. Then she highlights some text that applies only to Windows and Fx4, clicks the Showfor button and chooses what tags this highlighted section of text will apply to. The result is that section of text now has a corresponding background color in the editor. [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View_Detail|Example]]
#Once she is done with the windows version, she switches over to the Mac tab which is now a copy of the Windows content that she just wrote.  
#Next Bela wants to add some Step-by-Step instructions she clicks the "Add a new section" button below the previous section that she was working on. This gives her a new blank section to work in. Again she drags the bottom right corner to create some more room for her to work in.
#Bela then edits the info in the Mac tab, making the instructions specific to Macs.
#She adds a section heading and a brief description. Then before the first step, Bela clicks the "New Step" button and a visual indication is added to the document. [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View_-_Adding_Steps|Example]]
#She continues this process for each of the tabs (linux, Fx3.6, etc.)
#For this first step Bela drags a screencast she's made into the article window. [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View_-_Drag_and_drop_video|(Example)]] The video gallery window pops up and asks her to name the video and select the showfor tags. Then she clicks save and a proxy is added to the document while the video is compressed into multiple formats and uploaded in the background.
#Once she's done writing, Bela decides to upload some screencasts that she's made.  
#Next Bela adds the text for that step below the video.
#She switches back to the Windows, Fx 4 tab and drags the video from her desktop to the section where she wants the screencast to appear. She gets a notification and a progress bar while the SUMO add-on compresses her video into FLV, OGG, and WebM formats and uploads them to SUMO in the background.
#Then Bela starts a new step by clicking the New Step button.
#While the video is compressing and uploading she moves on to adding a screenshot.
#This time Bela wants to add a screencast that's already in the video gallery so she clicks the insert video button. The video gallery pops up and she chooses the video she wants by clicking on it. It's then inserted in the article complete with it's showfor information. [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View_-_Insert_video|Example]]
#Again, Bela just drags the image she wants to use to the part of the article where she wants it to appear.
#Realizing that she's been working on this for a while now, Bela clicks "Save and Continue" before moving on.
#After a brief wait (some kind of activity indicator during the wait) the image is uploaded to SUMO and the code is displayed.
#Once she's done with that Step-by-Step section, Bela creates another one by again clicking the "New Section" button below the current section.
#Once the video is done compressing and uploading it's code shows up in the editor.
#This next step-by-step section will contain images instead of videos.  
#When Bela is done creating the article she clicks the preview tab where she can see the article as it will appear when published.
#Bela continues adding steps with images via drag and drop and the image gallery. [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View_-_Drag_and_drop_image|Example]], [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View_-_Insert_image|Example]]
#In the article preview she can also add notes to the screenshots in the article. She clicks and drags to draw a red outline over the image and then types the note into the attached text box. The notes also support wiki markup like lists and links.
#One of Bela's screenshots could use some additional explanation so she decides to add a note to it. To do that Bela just clicks and drags on the image to create a red box that she can position anywhere on the image. There is also a place for her to enter the on hover text. [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View_-_Drag_and_drop_image|Example]]
#Also in the preview she can edit the video's poster frame from a selection of frames that were grabbed and uploaded by the SUMO add-on.
#Now that she's just about done, Bela switches to the Article View/Preview view to see how things will look and work for the user.
#Once she is done checking over the preview, she clicks the submit for review button which adds the article to the review queue.
#Switching back to Edit View, Bela decides to reorder the sections of the article. She can easily do this by grabbing each section's handle and dragging it into the order she wishes. [[Support/Kitsune/KB/workflows#Edit_View|Example]] (works like a Netflix queue)
#Now that she's done writing the article, Bela makes sure all of the article's meta information is set - category, type of article, table of contents on or off, keywords, etc.
#She also adds a summary of the edits she's made.
#Finally, she clicks submit.
