From the dashboard, press the Shared Media icon in the left menu.

In the shared media section, press the Create New button.

From the dropdown menu, select the Passage option.

Begin the passage authoring process by filling out the required metadata: Title and Bank.

Select any optional metadata for identifying, searching and filtering this passage. This metadata also informs reports and QTI exports.

Use the word processing editor to draft a new passage. If copying text from another location, be sure to paste your content in without formatting. Migrated styling will not export properly.

Use the highlighted tool bar to save, close, preview, and to expand your workspace.

From here you will likely want to attach items to your passage. See Attach an Item to a Passage for instructions.
