Creating an About section

Add a new section to an area's About profile using the rich-text editor.

Only area moderators and realm admins can create About sections. Regular users can read and acknowledge them.

Steps

  1. Open the area's About page.

  2. Click Add section.

  3. Title — a clear noun phrase ("How Sarah communicates", "Medical history").

  4. Folder — optional. Pick an existing folder, or create one on the fly.

  5. Body — use the rich-text editor. Paragraphs, headings, bullets, images, tables, links.

  6. Optional: tick Alert when published to notify everyone with access that a new section is up for reading.

  7. Save. Members of the area can see it immediately and the section appears on the About page.

Good section structure

  • One topic per section — easier to revise, easier to read.

  • Plain language — strangers picking up the record cold should understand it on first read.

  • Concrete examples — "Sarah likes coffee" reads weakly; "Sarah has two milky coffees mid-morning, both with no sugar" reads strongly.

Tip — Use folders to group sections that change at different cadences. "Background" rarely changes; "Daily routine" changes often. Grouping them separately means reviewers can scan what's likely to need updating.
