You use the PC authoring app in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides as the first step in the authoring process.

Use the PC app to complete these tasks:

• Create a guide.

• Select an anchoring method.

• Add tasks and steps.

• Write the instructions for your steps. Learn about best practices for writing instructional text.

• Assign different types of content to support the steps. Here are some examples of supporting content:

  • 3D parts

  • 3D objects such as objects from the toolkit (holographic arrows and numbers, for example)

  • 2D media (images and videos)

Note

You can add a guest user in Dynamics 365 Guides for users that have a Microsoft Entra account but aren't members of your organization. Guest users can only operate guides in the HoloLens app; they can't author guides in the PC or HoloLens apps.
