Add Lists and Procedures
As a contributor, you can add entire lists and procedures or individual steps to a topic. If you want to add a paragraph or other elements after the list or procedure, you will need to Add Breaks Between Block Elements.
Tip
To create a sublist, create a new list item after an existing one. Use the Tab key to indent the new list item. At the end of the sub list, if the main list is to continue, create another sublist item and then use Shift + Tab to outdent it again.
To convert a list to a paragraph, position the cursor before the first character in the item / step / bullet text and press backspace. It will convert into a paragraph on the previous numbered item / step / bullet.

If you want to add a list after another "structure" such as a subsection, add a break first. You can then add the list after the break.
