| 9 | +## 1. Creating a mod |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Start by going to the [dashboard](https://wiki.hytalemodding.dev/dashboard). |
| 12 | +If you haven't created any mods yet, you'll see a **"No mods yet"** message with a create button below it. |
| 13 | +If you already have mods, they'll be listed there — click **New mod** to add another. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +On the creation page, you'll see the following fields: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- **Mod name** _(Required)_: The name of your mod as it will appear on pages. |
| 18 | +- **Description** _(Optional)_: A short description of what your mod does. |
| 19 | +- **Mod Icon** _(Optional)_: An icon to represent your mod. |
| 20 | +- **Visibility** _(Required, default: "Private")_: Controls who can see your mod. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +### About visibility |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +- **Private**: Only you and your collaborators can see this mod. |
| 25 | +- **Unlisted**: Accessible to anyone with the link, but won't appear in public listings. |
| 26 | +- **Public**: Your mod will be listed [here](https://wiki.hytalemodding.dev/mods). |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Since you're just getting started, **Private** or **Unlisted** is recommended. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Congratulations — you've created your first mod wiki! |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## 2. Collaborators |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +If you're working with a team and want to give members editing access, you can add them as collaborators. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +On your mod's main page, look for the collaborators panel in the bottom-left — initially it will only show you. |
| 37 | +Click **Manage** to open the collaborator settings. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +There you'll see the owner, a list of collaborators, and a reference to the available permission levels: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +- **Owner**: Full control over everything. This role cannot be changed. |
| 42 | +- **Admin**: Can create, edit, and delete pages. Can also manage collaborators and invite new members. |
| 43 | +- **Editor**: Can create, edit, and publish pages. Cannot manage collaborators or mod settings. |
| 44 | +- **Viewer**: Can view private mod content, but cannot edit or create pages. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +To add someone, click **Invite Collaborators**, enter their username, and select a role. |
| 47 | +They'll receive an email invitation — once they accept, they'll appear in your collaborators list. |
