Guide 2 for Craft CMS 3

Craft CMS is intuitive. Marketing plans and organizational workflows—not so much. Guide lets you create a user manual within Craft CMS so clients don‘t need to go far to get the answers they need.

Guide is made up of two parts:

• The commercial plugin for Craft 3
• The open source user guide template

Note: The license fee for the PRO edition this plugin is $49 via the Craft Plugin Store. A LITE edition is offered for free.
