The process of creating a writeup is similar to that of creating a finding.

Step 1: From the WriteupsDB home page, click the Writeups tab.

Step 2: Click New Writeup.

Step 3: A modal will appear with the option to start from default finding fields or use a custom findings layout. Choose an option and click Next.

Step 4: Enter the writeup name and select the repository and severity. Click Create.

Step 5: Enter the information in the provided fields on the "Create New Writeup" page. Required fields are denoted with a red asterisk.

New sections for the writeup can be added by clicking Add new custom field at the bottom of the page. There is no limit to the number of new sections that can be added. Any section can be deleted by clicking the Remove button.

Step 6: Click Close at the top of the page. All changes are autosaved.
