+
+![Issues](basicsimages/issues.png)
+
+Click on the "+ new issue" button on the right side of your screen:
+
+![New issue](basicsimages/new_issue.png)
+
+Add a title and a description to your issue:
+
+![Issue title and description](basicsimages/issue_title.png)
+
+You may assign the Issue to a user, add a milestone and add labels (they are all optional). Then click on "submit new issue":
+
+![Submit new issue](basicsimages/submit_new_issue.png)
+
+Your Issue will now be added to the Issue Tracker and will be ready to be reviewed.
