Adding and Managing Educational Articles & Guides

PrepBase allows admins to create, manage, and organize educational content through the Articles & Guides module. This section is designed to help teams publish structured knowledge resources such as:

  • Educational Articles

  • Long-form Guides

  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


This article explains how to add, view, edit, filter, and delete educational articles, guides, and FAQs.

  2. Navigate to Resource Management

  3. Click Articles & Guides

You’ll see two primary sections:

  • Articles

  • Guides (with a nested FAQs tab)

Articles are structured educational posts that would show to students and instructors under their Articles subtab within their Resources main tab. Admin can create new articles by adding: 

  • Title

  • Category & Sub-Category

Guides

Guides are long-form instructional resources, typically step-by-step or topic-focused that would show to students under their Admissions subtab within the main Counseling tab on their dashboard.
