Your first fifteen minutes
From an empty canvas to something worth looking at.
1. Create a workspace and pick a template. Six methods are offered — literature review, timeline, argument map, systematic review, case chronology, comparison. Each one lays down named frames and the yarn between them, so you start with a method instead of a blank page.
2. Search the archive from the left rail and pin two or three books. Everything we publish is searchable there.
3. Open one in the reader and highlight a passage. It lands in your Inbox automatically — every highlight you make, in any book, in either reader.
4. Come back to the board and pin that highlight from the Inbox. It arrives as a quote card carrying its source and page.
5. Turn on Connect, click two cards, choose a yarn type, and write one sentence about why they relate. That sentence is the most valuable thing on the board.
6. Press ⋯ → Report to see what you have: a figure of the board, every connection with its reasoning, and a bibliography that can't drift from what you pinned.
