How-To Guides
Overview
The how-to guides contain step-by-step procedures for working with AI Workbench.
They assume you understand the relevant concepts. If you need background, start with the concept pages.
Procedures use breadcrumb notation to communicate UI steps compactly.
**A > B > C** means “go to A, then select B, then select C.”
The terms come from the Desktop App Feature Table.
“LHS/RHS” and “top/bottom” indicate position on screen when needed.
The guides are organized by topic, each with an overview page and task-specific pages beneath it.
Key Concepts
Breadcrumb Notation
A compact format for UI navigation paths: **Location > Element > Action**.
Terms match the Desktop App and CLI vocabulary used throughout the documentation.
Option Dots
Vertical ellipses in the Desktop App that reveal additional actions when clicked.
Success Statement
The bold line at the end of a procedure that describes the expected outcome.
Look for **Success:** to confirm you completed the task correctly.
