Interactive tutorials#

Use interactive tutorials when you want SAMSON to guide you through a task directly inside the application. To try one, go to Help > Tutorials, select a tutorial, and click Start tutorial.

Interactive tutorials

What this page covers#

This page explains where to launch built-in tutorials, when they fit into the onboarding sequence, and how to stop or restart one.

Use interactive tutorials after you know the main interface areas from First look: the interface. They are most useful when you want to practice a concrete workflow inside SAMSON instead of only reading about it.

When to read this#

Interactive tutorials are optional. Use them after Moving around and Loading molecules if you want guided practice inside the application, or skip them and return later when a tutorial matches a specific workflow.

After completing a tutorial, you should be able to repeat the demonstrated workflow without the tutorial window, or know which guide page to open for the same task.

Starting a tutorial#

Go to Help > Tutorials, select a tutorial, and click Start tutorial.

Stopping or restarting a tutorial#

To stop an interactive tutorial, close the tutorial tip window in the top-right corner of the Viewport. You can always restart an interactive tutorial from scratch in Help > Tutorials.

Tip
