Adding a description

You should add a description to your pathway, so other people can easily see what the pathway is about. You can also use the description field to explain features of your pathway in more detail or to highlight parts that need to be improved.

Add this description to the pathway by clicking the Edit button under the Description section on the pathway page. A text editor field will appear below the description header where you can type or paste the description. Click Apply button to save the description. The pathway page will now reload and you will see the description you added appear in the description section.
