Artivact User Manual

About

Work in progress

The user manual is currently in creation and will be updated with future releases.

The Artivact user manual documents how to use the application to create and manage your virtual collections.

The desktop and web server variant of the application differ slightly in their feature sets. If a function only applies to one of the installation variants, this will be denoted in the documentation by one of the following badges:

  • server - This functionality is only available, if Artivact is run in web server mode.
  • desktop - This functionality is only available, if Artivact is started on your local computer.

The Main Screen

After first start, the main screen is shown to the user. At the top is the navigation and settings bar.
