# Create Text Content

Whatfix enables you to create rich text articles and place them inside Self Help or Task List segments. The text content can be used to answer simple queries or FAQs using short answers right inside the Self Help and Task List widgets. Such contextual content saves your end users a lot of time as they see this content on your application without needing to navigate outside your application to access relevant information.

Use the following steps to create an article:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Content**. ![ia_left_nav_content](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_content.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T09%3A17%3A40Z&se=2026-11-12T10%3A17%3A40Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=0TmMT%2Bq38TlPIQqtFL5DebE2Id0qV9MQFgsNnh%2B4Q0k%3D)
