 The News page has two parts:
 
 - **News articles**: full stories with their own page, written in Markdown in the
   [marc_news repository](https://github.com/pdnMARC/marc_news). Vacancies are news articles too.
+  Send them with the **news form** (no GitHub account needed) or add them on GitHub.
 - **Social feed items**: short entries that link out to a Facebook, LinkedIn or web post, added as rows
   in the website data Google Sheet.
 
+## Use the news form
+
+<FormLink form="news" />
+
+- **New article:** give the title, the date, a one- or two-sentence summary and the full text. Each line
+  of the text becomes a paragraph, and lines starting with `-` become a list.
+- **Photos:** a cover photo, and optionally more photos shown under the article, with one line in
+  *Descriptions of the other photos* for each, in the same order. Photos are resized and their camera
+  and location data removed. Only send photos MARC may publish, with the agreement of anyone recognisable
+  in them.
+- **Vacancy:** answer *Yes* and give the deadline and an application link or email address.
+- **Correcting a published article:** choose *Change a published article*, paste the article's link from
+  the website, and fill in only what should change. New text replaces the whole text (the photos are
+  kept), so paste the full corrected version. The article's address never changes.
+
+Every night at midnight (Sri Lanka time) your answers become a change request. It goes live once a MARC
+maintainer approves it. If something can't be used, for example a link that doesn't match an article,
+a maintainer will be in touch.
+
+The rest of this guide is for adding articles on GitHub, and explains what each field means.

+MARC members can send profiles and news with Google Forms instead of GitHub. Every night at 00:00
+Sri Lanka time, a workflow reads each form's response sheet and opens pull requests:
 
-- in **marc_people**, one per response, with the new or updated profile and its photo;
-- in **marc_projects**, adding the person to the projects they ticked.
+- **Profile form:** the **Profile Form Sync** workflow opens pull requests in **marc_people** with the
+  new or updated profile and its photo, and in **marc_projects** adding the person to the projects they
+  ticked. Secret: `GOOGLE_FORM_CSV_LINK`, in both repositories. Setup:
+  [marc_people/google-form](https://github.com/pdnMARC/marc_people/blob/main/google-form/README.md).

+  [marc_news/google-form](https://github.com/pdnMARC/marc_news/blob/main/google-form/README.md).
 
 Responses that can't be used become an issue instead. Each pull request lists what changed, who sent it
 and the validator result, with a short review checklist. **Merge** to publish or **close** to reject;
 a response is never proposed twice. To process new responses straight away, run the workflow from the
 repository's **Actions** tab.
 
-Setup (the form, sharing, the `GOOGLE_FORM_CSV_LINK` secret) and maintenance are described in

-Once the form exists, put its share link in `forms.profile` in `src/data/site.ts` so the guides show it.
