## Overview

> Macro (excerpt)
> 
> Add message to "create page/blog" screen

The `workflow-instructions` macro is used to display instructions in a message panel on the initial page or blog post creation screen.

It is particularly useful for providing guidance to content creators about next steps after creating the page. For example, should they define [page parameters](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650348884) or apply certain labels to their content?

## Where to use it?

Optional.

One `workflow-instructions` macro can be put in a [workflow macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649662219).

Requires [space mode](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649531846) application of the workflow.

> 📝 *Workflow application must not be content label-filtered*.
