Tour of the Next Lab

Take the guided or video tour from the Home page and learn the main parts of the Next Lab screen.

The Next Lab includes a short guided tour and a video tour to help you find your way around. You can open both from the Instigator Home page whenever you like.

Steps

  1. Click Home in the sidebar. On your first sign-in, the How to start? card opens automatically.
  2. If the card is closed, click the info icon next to the Hi greeting at the top of the page.
  3. Pick one of the options:
    • Start the tour with your first session: opens the create session form and walks you through building your first session step by step. Click Exit tour whenever you want to stop.
    • Take a video tour: plays the Video tour of the Next Lab.
    • Create your first session: opens the create session form without the guided tour.
  4. Close the card with the close icon in its top-right corner.
