Take the tour and use the lessons

Studio can show you round while you work. None of it changes your job.

Show me around

The first time you sign in on a computer, Studio offers a tour on Home. It never starts by itself. Not now puts the offer away and tells you where to find the tour again.

To start it any time, open the profile menu (your initials, top right) and press Show me around. It walks through making a job in the order you make one: the material, the artwork, the sheet, the tabs on the right, the cut line, colour, the preflight, putting a job on a press and the press board. Each step rings the real button on the screen and says in a sentence or two what it does and when you would use it.

• It chooses nothing, opens nothing for you and adds nothing to Undo.
• Over an empty sheet it draws a practice sheet (a badge, a star and a label) so there is something to point at. The card says it is practice. It goes when the tour ends, and your own job is put back exactly as it was.
• If a button is not on the screen just now (there is no job yet to check, for example), the card says where to find it.
• The arrow keys move through it. Close the tour, Escape, or a click anywhere off the card ends it.

In the browser the tour has five more cards for what only your shop's account has: Your work, Give a job, Mark as checked, Put on a press… and Send feedback….

Learn

Learn, in the column on Home, has short lessons. They cover a sticker sheet from the first question to the press, cut lines and registration marks, white and metallics, a banner off the roll, the RIP hand-over, and one for a shop in the cloud: Working as a shop in the cloud: give a job, check it, put it on a press. A step's Show me on the screen puts a card up over the real screen with the lesson's words and a line saying what you should see. Learn also has a link to this manual, which opens in a new tab.

The Feature library

The profile menu also has Feature library…: every feature in a paragraph, with where it is, and a box to look one up by what you would call it.

What is this?

Every preflight finding has What is this? under it. It opens the Feature library at the entry that explains that kind of finding. See Read the preflight.

Explain the controls

Explain the controls, in the profile menu, turns on a short note beside the controls saying what each is for. The item then reads Hide the notes. It is a choice of the person at the press, so it can be on for one operator and off for the next.

Tell us what you think

The profile menu has Send feedback…. It opens a small box that shows the screen you are on. Type up to 2,000 characters and press Send. It says Sent, thank you. when we have it, and keeps what you typed if we could not be reached. We read every note. Studio cannot write back to you from there, so if you need an answer, write to us from the contact page on our website.
