The website explains how to use the online form and the 3 steps to submit an effective report. They even explain how to take a screenshot of misinformation found online.

 

They also provide a list of "dos and don'ts" and one of the most important "don'ts" is as follows:

DO NOT reply, share or retweet misinformation related to democracy.
