Creating custom objects and fields section is wrong??

I'm in Trailhead on this one https://trailhead.salesforce.com/data_modeling/creating_custom_objects_fields and the following section is unfollowable: 

Create a Help Page for the Candidate Object


We highly recommend that you create help pages for your custom objects. It's easy to provide useful information about your object by using a simple Visualforce page. Your users will thank you!
Let’s create a simple Visualforce help page to reference from your Candidate object.
From Setup, enter Pages in the Quick Find box, then select Pages.
Click New.
Enter a label for your page — for example, Job Candidate Help.
Enter a unique name for the page — for example, Job_Candidate_Help.
In the Visualforce Markup area, enter information about your custom object. You might want to include dependencies, next steps, or other tips for using the object.


There is no "Pages" in the search, only "visualforce pages" which creating a new one of those does not give you a page to link to in the following section. I used what was there and that's not what is needed to complete the challenge.

Pages and Visualforce Page are the same thing

Well yes I did create a page, or attempted to through what was available but in proceeding beyond that, there is no page to link to.

Before opening the visualforce page you just created you need to check if the development mode is active or not.

To enable Visualforce development mode:

1. From your personal settings, enter Advanced User Details in the Quick Find box, then select Advanced User Details. No results? Enter Personal Information in the Quick Find box, then select Personal Information.

2.Click Edit.

3.Select the Development Mode checkbox.
Optionally, select the Show View State in Development Mode checkbox to enable the View State tab on the development footer. This tab is useful for monitoring the performance of your Visualforce pages.

4.Click Save.


After this you would be able to see a bar  at the bottom of the visual force page through which you canedit its code

Please mark as best answer if it helped.
