		+
		+	[[File:Addnewbox-setup.png\|thumb\|alt=Add New Box Setup\|Add New Box Setup]]
		+
		+	Access Boxes by clicking the "Boxes" tab in your WordPress administration panel. You can create a new box using two ways.
		+
		+	'''Add New Box Setup''' Refer to the image "Add New Box Setup"
		+
		+	# Click on "Add New Box" under the Boxes tab in your WordPress administration panel
		+	# Click on the Boxes tab in your WordPress administration panel and click the "Add New Box" link (next to the settings title) at the top of the page
		+
		+	==Overview of the Box Editor==
		+
		+	[[File:Boxeditor-overview.png\|thumb\|alt=Box Editor Overview\|Box Editor Overview]]
		+
		+	'''Box Editor Overview''' Refer to the image "Box Editor Overview"
		+
		+	# Enter a title for your new box
		+	# Enter content for your new box
		+	# Select a Box Set to put your new box in
		+	# The MetaPanel settings are where you can customize your box
		+	## Upload an image for your new box
		+	## Enter a link for your box image and box title
		+
		+	==Adding Box Content==
		+
		+	[[File:Boxeditorcontent-setup.png\|thumb\|alt=Box Editor Content Setup\|Box Editor Content Setup]]
		+
		+	Adding the text content to your box is as simple as creating a new post or regular page since it uses the same visual editor.
		+
		+	# Enter a short and descriptive title for your new box
		+	# Use the text editor to add content that will go in the text content area of your box
		+
		+	==Adding Your Box to a Box Set==
		+
		+	[[File:Addboxtoset-setup.png\|thumb\|alt=Adding Box to an Existing Box Set\|Adding Box to an Existing Box Set]]
		+
		+	Adding a box to a box set allows you to categorize boxes into sets for better organization. You can add a box to a set by selecting one category or more.
		+
		+	Let's say that you want to add your new box to an existing set called "default-boxes".
		+
		+	# Check the box next to "default-boxes"
		+	# If you want to create a new category, click the "+ Add New Category" link at the bottom, enter a new box set name (in this example, it's "another-box-set"), then click the "Add New Category" button
		+
		+	==Adding a Box Image and Box Link==
		+
		+	[[File:Boxmetapanel-setup.png\|thumb\|alt=Adding a Box Image and Box Link\|Adding a Box Image and Box Link]]
		+
		+	The Box MetaPanel includes settings for adding an image and entering a link for your box image and box title.
		+
		+	# Click "Upload Image" and select the image you want for the box image
		+	# If you don't like the image, click the "Remove" button and upload another
		+	# Optionally, you can enter the full URL for the box image and box title link
		+	# Click "Save Meta Settings"
		+
		+	==Saving and Publishing Your Box==
		+
		+	[[File:Boxpublishing-setup.png\|thumb\|alt=Saving and Publishing Your Box\|Saving and Publishing Your Box]]
		+
		+	The last step in creating your new box is saving and publishing it.
		+
		+	# Click "Save Draft" to save your box as a draft that you can change later on
		+	# Click "Publish" to publish your box so that it can be used on a page
		+
		+	==Create Box Sets==
		+
		+	One of the best things about Boxes is that they can be grouped in different sets to keep them organized. This guide will show you how to create Box Sets.
		+
		+	===Overview of the Box Sets Page===
		+
		+	Access the Box Sets by clicking on "Box Sets" under the Boxes tab in your WordPress Administration Panel.
		+
		+	[[File:Createboxsets-overview.png\|thumb\|alt=Box Sets Overview\|Box Sets Overview]]
		+
		+	'''Box Sets Overview'''
		+	Refer to the image "Box Sets Overview"
		+
		+	# This is where you can create a new Box Set
		+	## Create a name for the Box Set
		+	## You can create a [[Glossary#Slug\|Slug]] for the Box Set
		+	# This is a list of the Box Sets you created
		+
		+	===Create a New Box Set===
		+
		+	[[File:Createboxsets-setup1.png\|thumb\|alt=Box Sets Setup\|Box Sets Setup]]
		+
		+	Creating a new Box Set is as simple as creating a new post category since it utilizes the same settings format. The set can be created first and the desired boxes can be added to it later on.
		+
		+	# Enter a brief and specific name for your new Box Set
		+	# Enter a matching slug name
		+	# Optionally, you can add a description to identify what kind of Boxes are inside the set
		+	# Click "Add New Category" to add the set to your list of Box Sets
		+
		+	===Adding Existing Boxes to a Set===
		+
		+	[[File:Createboxsets-setup2.png\|thumb\|alt=Add Boxes to a Box Set\|Add Boxes to a Box Set]]
		+
		+	[[File:Createboxsets-setup3.png\|thumb\|alt=Add Boxes to a Box Set\|Add Boxes to a Box Set (Continued)]]
		+
		+	Now that you have your new Box Set, it's time to add boxes to it. I'm going to add an existing box (called "Add-On Marketplace") as an example.
		+
		+	# Access the existing Boxes by clicking on the "Boxes" tab in the WordPress administration panel.
		+	# Mouse over the Box title link then click on the "Quick Edit" that displays
		+	# Check the box next to the Box Set you want to add your Box to
		+	# Click on "Update" to save the setting
		+
		+	Alternatively, you can open the editor for an existing Box, select the Box Set on the right side of the editor in the "Box Sets" section, and click on "Update" to save the box.
		+
		+	==Add Boxes to a Page==
		+
		+	PageLines gives you the freedom to add Boxes to specific page types. This guide will show you how to enable Boxes on a page.
		+
		+	==Enabling Boxes==
		+
		+	[[File:Addboxestopage-overview.png\|thumb\|alt=Adding Boxes to a Page Overview\|Adding Boxes to a Page Overview]]
		+
		+	Access the Template Setup by clicking on "Templates" under the PageLines Tab in your WordPress administration panel.
		+
		+	Let's say that you want to add Boxes below the Page Content in a Default Page. I'll use this example to demonstrate how to enable the Boxes using Template Setup.
		+
		+	# Select the "Page Templates" area in the "Select Template Area" section
		+	# Select the Page Type you want to add your Boxes to
		+	# Click and hold on the PageLines Boxes and drag it below the Content
		+
		+	Once the Boxes section is enabled in the "Active Sections" area, the template will save automatically and you're all set.
