Create a new Markdown file with metadata header

The name you enter becomes the file name in kebab case and uid in snake case.

1. Right-click the folder where you want to add the file.
2. Select New File from Template.
3. Select new-file from the list and enter a name without a file extension.
4. Edit and save the file as normal.

Create a new sub-folder in DocFX content

This will create the folder and add file index.md to it. The name you enter becomes the folder name in kebab case and uid (of index.md) in snake case.

1. Right-click the folder where you want to add the file.
2. Select New File from Template.
3. Select docfx-subfolder from the list and enter a folder name.
4. Optionally add additional Markdown files to the new folder.
