How to add/create a text document for classes and assignments?

Hello all, I'm just getting started on learning OnShape to teach my robotics students how to use CAD. I've been drawing in Inventor professionally for over 10 years, so the technical side is not an issue for me. However I am trying to figure out if there is a way I can create a text document linked to my classes or assignments so that when the students open the file they have step-by-step instructions they can follow similar to the OnShape Quickstart guide.
Any suggestions/tips appreciated, thanks!

The best way to do that would be to import the text file into an Onshape document and then use that document as a starter document for an assignment (submission option 2, "students begin with a copy of selected document). More info here:
