# 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](/ai-workbench/concepts/project-concept).

**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](/ai-workbench/reference/user-interface/desktop-app#desktop-app-feature-tables).
"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.

## Topics

**Projects**

Create, clone, publish, delete, and version projects.
See [How to Work with AI Workbench Projects](/ai-workbench/how-to/projects/overview).

**Environments**

Manage packages, build scripts, mounts, environment variables, and multi-container setups.
See [Environments and AI Workbench](/ai-workbench/how-to/environments/environments-overview).

**Remote Locations**

Add, configure, and manage remote locations.
See [How to Add Remote Locations](/ai-workbench/how-to/locations/overview).

**Integrations**

Connect GitHub, GitLab, NGC, Brev, and NVIDIA Endpoints.
See [How to Connect Integrations](/ai-workbench/how-to/integrations/overview).

**IDEs and Agents**

Use VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and coding agents with AI Workbench.
See [IDEs, Agents and Development Tools](/ai-workbench/how-to/ides/ide-overview).

**CLI**

Interactive use, scripting, and agent workflows from the command line.
See [Using the CLI](/ai-workbench/how-to/cli/cli-overview).

**Git Repos**

Bring any Git repository into AI Workbench.
See [Work with Any Git Repository](/ai-workbench/how-to/convert-repo).

**Build Agent**

Analyze and fix failed container builds with the build assistant.
See [How to Use the AI Workbench Build Assistant](/ai-workbench/how-to/ai-workbench-build-assistant).

**Share Web Apps**

Share running web applications on remote locations.
See [Share a Web Application](/ai-workbench/how-to/app-sharing).

**Custom Base Images**

Use your own container images as project base images.
See [Use a Custom Container Image](/ai-workbench/how-to/use-custom-container).
