Reference Nodes on 1Cademy

After you click the pencil icon, a sidebar on the left-hand side of the map will provide a list of child node types. Select which one you need based on the information you are proposing.

3.Select Type of Child Node to Propose

Type the information you summarized into the title and content boxes of the node template. You can also explain why you are proposing the new child node in the notes section at the bottom of the node template. (This does not show up in the node content. It is only available when reviewing the proposal.) 

4.Fill in the New Node Template

All nodes should be tagged within the proper area of the map. Check to make sure the tag in your node reflects the area of the map it should be in. (All nodes you create will automatically carry your default tag.)

6.Check the Tag of the Child Node

Double-check to make sure all the information in the node is accurate, clear, comprehensive, and concise then click the green "Propose" button at the bottom left side of the template. 

7.Finalize and Propose the Child Node

All new child nodes need to be attached to the node that holds the immediate prerequisite information. Users must first find or add the parent node that contains the immediate prerequisite information for the child node they want to add.

1.Find the Immediate Prerequisite (Parent Node)

Once you find the immediate parent to the child node you want to propose, click the pencil icon on the footer of that parent node to propose a change.

2.Click to Propose a Change on the Parent Node

5.Cite a Reference Node in the New Child Node

References should be added to a node during its creation, not after. This can be done by clicking on the book icon and selecting '+Cite an existing reference', and selecting the node which contains your reference. If a node containing your citation does not exist yet, you should create that first.
