Two areas for Description - I can't find where to input both

Hi everyone. We're newbies and haven't finalised our listing yet but will do once I get the last couple of images.

 

We followed the prompts when first starting our listing and there only seemed to be one place to put in a description (Setting the Scene).  However we notice on other people's listings that there is a summary description at the very top and then further down there's another 'description' area where it has the headings 'The Space', 'Guest Access', 'Interaction with Guests' etc.  We can't find where to access this so that we can edit it.

 

When we preview our listing, the description we put under the 'Setting the Scene' section, shows in the summary area at the top and also in the 'description' section further down...

 

Would appreciate help with this if possible - thank you 🙂

Hi @Bec-and-John0, you need to publish your listing first then go back into it to check everything, edit and add the extra details. Some of the information like the detailed description is only available AFTER publishing the listing. I have no idea why it should be programmed that way.

Hi Victoria

 

Thanks so much for that!  I'll look at it closer then once I've published.  Appreciate your help 🙂

As long as you're not finished make sure your listing isn't 'listed' meaning public.

While still setting everything up, do it in 'Snooze' (you set the date(s), but can be unsnoozed again immediately if so desired).

You will still be able to see a preview of how your listing looks to the world, but it won't be active yet.

And make sure you do not use Instant book (yet). Get a feel for hosting and vetting guests through conversing with them thru messages.
