In the introduction tab of your guide you will need to remove the In Progress flag. This flag prevents your guide from being displayed until you remove it. Your guides should be publicly viewable on the category page that you've linked them to as soon as you've switched the viewing permissions from "My Team" to "Everyone". Be sure to check that you're guide is placed under the correct category page.

The Issue: I believe the issue you are experiencing is due to having images that require cropping. When an image is uploaded and it isn't in a 4:3 aspect ratio, it will appear with an orange border around it as pictured here: Crop Required: Note: You won't be able to drag and drop the image, it would select it as if it were text. Solution: To fix the issue you need to crop the image by selecting the wrench icon in the top left corner of the image, cropping the image, then saving the image. The image will then be able to be dragged and dropped onto a step. More information about uploading, cropping and placing images on guides and wikis is available in the Dozuki Help Docs.

The new Dozuki App was approved and is now in Apple's App store! Check out the new App here!

Well, Guidebook IS more than that. Guidebook guides run contrary to the status quo in a couple ways: It's Visual By Design: 1) Guidebook mandates a visual experience. Most tools will offer too much leniency in the creation process: this causes the end user to suffer. Guidebook maintains a consistent presentation for every new guide. It's Dynamic: 1) Most of the world uses a word processor to PDF workflow. It's nearly impossible, at any real size, to effect changes to the static guides: editing, PDF'ing and posting to a server could take weeks to months! With Guidebook, it's instantaneous. It's Everywhere: 1) Guidebook isn't just an online interface, it's also available as an App, embeddable content, Raw XML, automatically generated PDFs as well as via API. To Your Point: 1) Guidebook currently supports only images and text annotations. However, we will soon expand beyond that into video and a variety of other types of rich media. Please, let us know what else you would like Dozuki to BE in the future by voici...
