  1. Numbered step
  2. Start steps with the verb or action to take
  3. Use bold menu steps such as File > Export > Export as PDF
  4. Keep it brief, this is not a place to get chatty
  5. Use hyperlinks embedded in the steps to take folks to relevant articles but don't over do it
  6. Embedded images work well when smallMac network icon.png
  7. Urls should be written out fully https://studentfiles.evergreen.edu



Additional subheading with collapsed content
