# Steam guides: where to find and search them

> Steam guides live in each game's Community Hub under the Guides tab. Open it from your library, the store page, the overlay or steamcommunity.com.

Steam guides are player-written guides stored in each game's Steam Community Hub. To find them, open the game in your library or on the store, go to its Community Hub and click the Guides tab, or press Shift+Tab in game to open them in the overlay. Inside the Guides tab you can search, sort by most popular or most recent, and filter by category.

## Ways to open Steam guides

1. **From your library.** Select the game in your Steam library, then choose Community Hub or Guides on the game's page.
2. **From the store.** On the game's store page, open its Community Hub, then the Guides tab.
3. **In game.** Press Shift+Tab to open the Steam overlay, then open Guides for the game you are playing.
4. **In a browser.** Go to steamcommunity.com, search for the game and open its Guides section.

## Finding the right guide

- Sort by **Most Popular** for well-tested guides, or by **Most Recent** after big game updates.
- Filter by category, such as achievements, walkthroughs or settings, where the hub offers it.
- Check the rating and the "last updated" date; old guides may not match patched games.
- Add good ones to **Favorites** so they appear in your overlay later.

## Writing your own guide

In the Guides tab, choose Create Your Guide, add sections, images and a cover, and publish it. Other players can rate, comment and award it.
