    Newbie needing help please

    Hello everyone

    I am very new to Umbraco and i am trying to learn my way through it by going through tutorials online. My issue is that i can't find a setting that the person i'm following in the tutorial found.

    The setting is the adding a new property or generic property to a document type. I am running 7.5.7 of Umbraco and those setting are no longer there where the guy in the tutorial finds them. In fact the UI looks completely different. Has umbraco moved the setting somewhere else as i can not find it.

    I really appreciate any help

    The video i'm learning from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8titJuvhNl0&list=PLLYO0Qmbv5pvGjpI6Cyg3mVBoYtG_LK63&index=5

    Jump to 12:40 to where he gets into this setting

    Sorry i am completely new to umbraco and rather useless

    Hi Arthur.

    Please don't call yourself useless. Everyone is new is the beginning! Give it a few months and soon you'll be rocking Umbraco like a pro, im sure!

    Yes, that tutorial is old, Umbraco´s UI has changed a lot since then.

    I've created a little screendump here so that you can see how to create a new custom property in a new custom tab (you can no longer add custom properties to the tab Generic Properties) with Umbraco 7.5.7:

    enter image description here

    Best of luck and feel free to ask any follow up questions that you might have.

    Take care / Dennis

    Also if you are new I deffinetly recommend getting a subscribtion to http://umbraco.tv/.

    Better to learn the basics from HQ themselfs! ;)

    Hi Frans.

    I use a really nice (free) tool called ScreenToGif.

    https://screentogif.codeplex.com/

    Really handy to have when you either help people with tutorials but also in my work when sending screendumps to clients.

    Have a great day!

    Thank you so much Dennis!

    I would have not figured this out! I can now get back on track with the tutorial
