1. How the Process Works

To maintain the high quality of our official libraries, all contributions follow a "Community-First" workflow.

1. Draft your content: Use the templates below to ensure your post is impactful.

2. Post to the Public Community: Click + Create Topic and share your post in the relevant Public Community Group (e.g., Product User Community or Developer Community).

3. Use the Magic Tag: Add the tag #CommunityContribution to your post. This alerts the Admin team that your content is ready for review.

4. Admin Promotion: Our team reviews all tagged posts. High-quality, actionable content will be moved by an Admin to the official How-To Library, Use Case Library, or Deployment Packs Library.
