+### Adding workflow images to the user guide
+
+To insert a workflow to the user's guide of some new technique, a template is available (shown below as a `png`). This template is also available in `svg` format at [mitiq_template.svg](../source/img/general_template.svg).
+
+The `svg` will require edits to the items listed below:
+
+- One word description of the first step of the new technique in `(Edit Step 1)`. For example, if the new technique
+requires sampling of the input quantum program, you will edit the text to `1. Sampling`.
+- Make changes to `Description of circuit generated by mitiq` to instead briefly provide information about how mitiq is manipulating the input circuit. 
+- Feel free to change the color scheme in `mitiq.new_technique` of the `svg` file.
