Field Manual by Peachfin Themes organises guides into sections, with numbered entries in reading order. The home page pairs these lists with a section rail containing guide counts and search, plus a “Start here” panel for the newest featured guide. A second home layout displays the latest guides as photo cards.

Each guide has numbered steps, an “In this guide” list that marks the current step, and a “You will need” materials box. Series navigation shows positions such as “Part 2 of 3”, lists the section’s guides beside the text and links to the next guide. The Library page gathers every section and its guides, followed by field notes.

Eighteen custom settings control palettes, home layouts, cover styles and supporting panels. Article and Field note templates accommodate reference writing and short updates. Ghost membership, Portal signup, newsletter forms, restricted posts with calls to action, built-in search and native comments support publications that teach through guides and series.

Field Manual suits craft and hobby teachers, software and product documentation, course creators, gardening publications, outdoor and repair guides, cooking and recipe series, workshops and studios. Its section lists and step navigation support any publication whose posts are intended to be followed in order.
