Creating a comprehensive and informative tutorial is valuable for contributing to the Synthiam community. A well-crafted tutorial assists others in their learning journey and enhances the collective knowledge base. To ensure your tutorial is easily searchable and beneficial to users, it must meet specific criteria before publishing it in the Tutorial section.

Here is a checklist of requirements that your tutorial must fulfill to be made public:

  1. Select Related Robot Skills: Associate your tutorial with relevant robot skills to help users find it based on their interests or needs.
  2. A Valid Title: Your tutorial title should be descriptive and exceed ten characters to indicate the content.
  3. Description: Include a brief overview of your tutorial over 20 characters long, offering insight into what users will learn.
  4. At Least One Step: Your tutorial should be broken down into manageable steps to guide users through the process.
  5. A Thumbnail Image: Add a visually appealing thumbnail image that represents the content of your tutorial.
