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.

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.
