Turn your space into a guide space
With a Guides plan, your space can show its guides as a searchable library: guides, manuals and handbooks, with the newest one ready to read first.

Guide view turns a space's public page into a library of guides, manuals and handbooks. Instead of the usual post feed, readers see your guides in a list they can search and open, with the newest one featured at the top.
To use it, the space needs an active Guides plan. The same plan is what lets members post Guide posts in the space.
Guides plans
A Guides plan is bought for one space, by an owner or manager of that space. It is paid from your wallet credits, monthly or yearly. Each level allows a number of guides in the space:
- Basic — 10 guides
- Plus — 50 guides
- Premium — 200 guides
- Enterprise — 1000 guides
Prices are shown on the Subscription page in your chosen currency.
On a computer
Get a Guides plan and turn on guide view
On a computer the page is labelled Guide space and has a Back to Home link, a Library heading with a search box, a Read guide button on the Start here card, and the latest guides as cards.
On your phone
These steps are the same in the Boogir app and on boogir.com in your phone's browser.
Get a Guides plan and turn on guide view
On a phone the guide space has its own top bar with a back button, a search icon and ⋯. A Share button sits next to Subscribe, the Start here guide has a Read button, and the latest guides are a list.
What readers see
With guide view on, the space's page shows:
- A header with the space's photo, name, number of guides and followers, description, Subscribe button and ⋯ menu.
- A search that finds guides by title.
- Start here — the newest guide, ready to open.
- Latest guides — the other guides, showing the module name when the guide is in a module, its topics, date, reading time and views.
Only published Guide posts appear. Articles, stories and events stay in the space but are not listed in the library. If there are none yet, readers see No guides.
Posting guides
To add a guide, write a post in the space and pick Guide in the post type tabs at the top of the post form. It goes through review like any other post and appears in the library once it is published.
Every Guide post in the space counts toward the plan, including drafts and posts in review. Declined guides don't count. When the limit is reached, saving a new guide (or changing another post to a Guide) shows "This space has used all the guides its plan allows." Without a plan you'll see "This space needs a Guides plan to post guides."
When the plan ends
The Guides plan card on the Subscription tab shows how many guides are used, the end date and an auto-renew switch (Renew the plan automatically when it ends.). With auto-renew on, the plan renews from the wallet when it ends. If the wallet is running low, you get a notification before the renewal, and another if auto-renew stops because there isn't enough credit.
If the plan ends, the space goes back to its normal page. Your guides stay published as posts, and guide view comes back when the space has an active plan again.
